Nope.  The R&P is the last things you will hold in your hand as you
take the transmission clear apart.  Plus, it takes exact measurements
to put it back together so it's silent and doesn't wear quickly.
The measurements take special tools that are probably only found at
a dealer or at a shop that has done a lot of the transmissions.

Already told Dave I've got a R&P out of my old 5 speed laying in
the garage.  It should be good and usable.
