Howdy all,
Thanks for all the great responses to my questions on body work! My car needs
extensive rust repair and panel replacement, and I was really pretty worried
about the whole thing. But with everyone's advice, I'm feeling a lot better
about it! I think I can . . I think I can . . I think I can!
Well, now I have the tranny out of the car, so here's my next set of questions:
1) I'm hoping that this is one thing on my car that I *won't* have to
replace.<g> But, since I have it out, I figured I'd better at least open it up
and check the contents. What should I be looking for as far as likely
candidates for problem areas?
2) Since the car was not running when I bought it, I have no road experience
with this tranny. How can I test the tranny with it out of the car? I've
heard of people attaching drills, etc. to drive the tranny. Does this really
work/mean anything?
3) What pieces/parts should I just automatically replace regardless of whether
I do a complete rebuild?
4) To save $$, I've decided that if the current non-OD tranny I have works, I
will just use it, and forego the upgrade to OD for now. Is upgrading later
just a matter of dropping the transmission out the bottom, and putting in the
new one, or?
As always, thanks for all your replies.
