Thanks for the info and the opinions guys. Its kind of what I expected, but really didn't want to hear. It is what it is. I remember several years ago I tried to replace the front band on a 727 that was still in the car, that didn't work out so well. I can't believe this one would be any different.

At this point, I think I'm going to fill it up with the cheapest atf I can find, and put it in the yard. Hopefully It will move around enough I can keep the grass cut around it. Maybe in the spring I will pull it down and put a reman trans in it.

I'm done spending money on this one for this year. I should have replaced this trans at the beginning, before it ever went into the truck. I could have paid for about 1/2 the cost of the rebuild with all the jacking around I've done with this one. Gene
