Hmmm. Why not. Freezing makes metals contract. Worth a try

Latest discovery is a cracked front unit cover... I did some research but could not find any replacement for my cover #8616404. There is similar...
I completely tore apart the tranny and found a few defects which I rectified as I put together the whole thing again.
Been a while since I had the shifting issue. But I had some other priority work in between. When I opened the pan and found scraps I opted for a...
