From: Hudson Falls, N.Y. 76 Vette Modified L-48
Default she's home....

....$1336 later, but she's home...and I must admit, she is running fine, the tranny shifts like a late model vehicle now, and has a 3 year/50,000 mile warranty on it....and now the cause...
For you guru's, you guys that know the inside of this auto trans like the back of your hand....the pump (part# 35200-R) assembly was cracked and twisted and was probably contributed to old age and occasional abuse..so I guess I owe an apology to the Hawiian Fat Cat...:o
From the parts list, to me anyway, looks like bands were replaced and many other parts, a new torque converter, and a performance shift kit...so all in all, dispite the and this was probably a good thing...at least this part of the Vette has been serviced under my supervision, knowing it was done right...
Thanks again for ALL of your support and suggestions...and your attempt to hold my head remotely while I over this latest problem...
