Doug came over and got the trans in tonight,just got it bolted to the motor and the crossmember in. My back has been hurting so I did not want to push it and will be finishing it tomorrow night.

Too bad about the back but there were no cuts or bruises and no lost tools so it was a good night. The only thing was that I was on the COLD side. lol!

Don't you guys cut yourself on purpose and bleed down the intake? We never trust a job that isn't blessed with blood. Razz

The garage isn't big enough. That thing is so huge you can't hardly get around it. jocolor

There's motorcycles, boat motors and all kind of crap in the road. There's barely enough room for the old hearter, let alone my big arse. It's supposed to go around the block this weekend. I'm sure there'll be pictures then. cheers

The thing should have quite the California rake with the 2 wheel drive front end and the stock 4 wheel back end. Laughing

Juat put some Kelly Spring Field N50-15s on the rear and paint the shocks HiJacker yellow, and it's highschool all over again. tongue

It went around the block tonight and have a leak to chase down,I dont remember making sure the torque convertor drain was tight so I hope thats all it is,without a pressure gauge it took me awhile to get it to shift the way I wanted it to but its there now.

by junkyardjeff on January 27th 2012, 6:17 pm

It was the convertor drain plug being loose,I could turn it with my fingers and suprised it did not blow out. I did not want to pull the trans back out again.

by RebStew on January 27th 2012, 7:23 pm

At least it wasn't a seal or something.

by junkyardjeff on January 28th 2012, 4:14 am

Both trans I had rebuilt had a leak but it was installer error,this one the plug and the 55 a cooler line.
