Here's mine, 50 chevy 283/th350 pacer front end ford 8"
That's quite unusual for that pin to fall out. It's just a split sleeve, you should be able to spread it open to make it fit tight again.
Hydramatic made a TH375 that was a TH400 with a TH350 splined output shaft. They came in mid sized BOP cars in the late 70's. They held one less...
I just picked up a good 500 caddy engine, I am looking for a suitable car to put it in. I like the 64/65 skylarks, anybody here done this conversion?
Before you pull that tranny, I would check 2 things. First, make sure your governor valve is free. Here's how to check it: hold it by the plastic...
If everything works fine but manual 2nd, then your front band is either burnt, broken, or you have a cracked servo. Some years had a plastic...
I would pull the pan. If its reasonably clean, (meaning a slight amount of metal particles or friction material) and has no water contamination,...
OP, That T5 will bolt right up to your 235 Bell Housing. Just enlarge the 4 mounting holes to 1/2" and use the clutch disc from the S10. I put...
Disconnect the cable at the lever on the trans. If the lever moves, your cable is stuck. If the lever won't move, pull the pan and find out why.
unbolt your detent spring, and your manual valve should slide freely in and out of your valve body. If it doesn't, find out why.

I use a press. Case vertical, front side up, press against the front countershaft bearing and both countershaft bearings and cluster gear will...
It's not your band strut. Before you drop the pan, first make sure it's full of fluid. Then, while it's idling in park , put a drain pan under...
check to see if the manual valve is moving with the shift lever. The manual valve is just below the park rod, and slides back and forth in the...
Another thing to consider, is the type of filter you have. Most modern trans use a dacron cloth filter, this type must be changed, as they...
The PG linkage is quite a bit different than the TH 350/400 type. It would take some fabrication/adaptation to get a decent working linkage. If...
That was only used on the cast iron ramblers, hopefully it's just the small gasket where it screws into the case.
I bought the Borgeson hose kit from Summit part# BRG-925102. Also, get the PS pump pressure reducing kit part #BRG-899001. I didn't realize I...
This event had to be purely coincidental, new fluid cannot damage a seal. To marginally extend the life of a tired trans with hard seals, I've...
It is an old fable that changing the fluid on an old transmission will damage it. The C6 uses a screen, you can clean it instead of replacing it....
Some things you will need: Mechanical aptitude common sense 2 types of snap ring pliers
For under the car, you need a cooler that incorporates an electric fan. Several parts houses sell them.
Hi all, I enjoy the site, have made a few posts, but never introduced myself. I am a self employed transmission rebuilder, born in 1954. I got...
The only time you really need lockup is when cruising in OD.
OP, Your shifter should definitely have 2 things: A neutral safety switch, and some kind of gear lockout, so it cant be shifted into reverse...
I'm pretty sure the case is 1/8 npt. Try a 1/8 pipe nipple in the hole and see how it fits.
OP, If your governor is free, then your TV valve is stuck. The plunger that you can see from the outside, depresses a spring which acts against...
A couple more thoughts: There are 2 types of kickdown solenoids, early with aluminum body, and late with stamped steel body. The early style used...
Hi, I think you may discover that when you pull the tone ring off your output shaft, that you won't have the small hole needed for the plastic...
