You have not given us any idea how many miles are on the trans itself, it may be time for a rebuild. 100,000 - 125,000 is a lot of miles on the 67 drivetrains. Most didn't expect the vehicle to make it 10 years or 100,00k miles, the ones that did were truly rare. .


This one has 131k, so I was half-anticipating having to do that later this year. I do see some clutch stuff floating around on the dipstick, though, so maybe a filter will buy me another year or two.

The longer you drive it the more it's going to cost. Hard parts cost more than a simple rebuild. A very good trans builder once told me that the first time a trans doesn't feel right çall a tow truck. Do not drive it until it won't move any further.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
