Check with Doug from Qualitat. His guy did a nice job on my 67. The challenge you are up against with the 65 is if you still have reduction boxes. Nobody wants to mess with them, so you may be on your own to learn them. It was intimidating at first, but once I did them it really was no big deal.

Hey Folks - 


I got a "new" 65 bus a few weeks ago and it pops out of 4th gear alot. Also my top (comfortable) speed is 55mph, I'm thinking about getting the tranny rebuilt or buying a new freeway flyer.  Also my "new" 56 porsche speedster (71 bug chassis) pops out of reverse and grinds, so I think I'm looking at 2 new or rebuilt transmissions.... 
 
Any suggestions on local DFW person to rebuild? (I used Tom Jenkins on my 67 bug and my 72 bus years ago - anyone have his contact info if he's still around?)
Or where I should order one from?


Thanks,
Jeff Bednar
