I just want to comment on building it yourself.
when you start changing the gears and drums you may need different thickness snap rings, clutch steels, and thrust washers too. Getting all the clearances right can add to the time and expense of rebuilding the transmission if you don't have the different thickness parts on hand.


That is the main reason I quit building my own transmissions, lack of proper selection of thrush washers, snap rings and the latest advice on new wear racing parts. I wouldn't pay the cheapest brain doctor or attempt to do my own brain surgery I do my own motor assembly and I set up my own rear ends, I bought the pinion depth tool from Pro Parts years ago to avoid hauling the rear ends a 100 miles each way to get them done, two trips a week after work OP, as far as the pinion yoke contact Dr DIff. about them, if he doesn't have them try Randys Ring and Pinion I bought both of them in aluminum and steel, I haven't tried the aluminum one yet Where's the chicken symbol (instant Graemlins) when I need it




Rebuilding a 40 year old transmission = brain surgery. Really?
