Hey Pete, Have you ever seen this before. It doesnt look like it was rubbing anywhere in the tranny. It almost looks like it was turned on a lathe.....sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but it was the best I could do

The first one I built (not including trans school) took 35-40 hours to do. It turned out perfect and went 11.50's with a 1.5 60' time. Talk about pressure
Anyhow, take your time and everything will be fine

I had never done a 700R4, Pete was a tremendous help. I got it all done and it works perfect. Had a few tense moments but just took my time.

Many years ago i accidently squashed a pump on a th350... Since then i have been nervous about just putting them in but have always wondered if there was an way easy to fix the pump in that senario with-out completely rebuilding the trans again? Just idely currious about that???

Seriously... I wisk you luck and admire the courage.

I swore an oath of celibacy where auto-transmissions are concerned. Maybe that is just being chicken???
