1962 Series II - Transmission Rebuild

Hello,

I have pulled my drivetrain and aim to go through it all now.
If anyone can recommend anyone or anywhere that can rebuild this transmission in the Southern California area; that would be great.
I don't trust taking it to any transmission place & them understanding how to deal with this trans.

I would also love anyone who might be a British car mentor type in my area.
I have only rebuilt / restored old domestic cars; so am unfamiliar with this Sunbeam.

Thanks!

I don't know any gearbox rebuilders in the US, but what are the issues with the gearbox?

It worked fine, years ago, when the engine finally gave out & sat parked for years. I just want it checked out while it is out of the car. I also suspect I should have new gaskets / seals installed. The front Yoke of the driveshaft is pitted and I will need to order a new one. I image that rear transmission seal will be old & damaged.
Thanks
