????

 

I guess I should ask how long one can last too. I have 210k miles on mine now. Just put in a new clutch and resurfaced the flywheel but have no clue as far as the tranny goes.

 

There is a transmission board for this question

 

1.) Remove and disassemble transmission.
2.) Replace broken parts, friction components, seals.
3.) Reassemble and reinstall transmission.

For more details, there are these book things...many pages...diagrams...

 

I see we have a couple of smartasses

Radiate! I dont need to hear crap from you. I drove 3 hours to sell my engine to you and you decided you wanted to rebuild your own when we got there. Would have been nice if you decided to do that before I had my friends help me load the thing in their truck and drive 3 hours. Didnt offer to pay for the gas money I spent to get there and back. And by the way I stripped that engine down and the only thing wrong was a little bit of rust on the cam. So I would appreciate it if you just didnt even open your mouth when I ask a question. Im aware that there is a transmission board and I posted this there also.


KevinC thanx

 

well cry baby before you sell a motor with rust in it you should tell people that it was partially rebuilt and what you wanted for it was rediculous given the condition it was in ie rust and water damage. Would you have paid 600 dollars for a rusty engine? I think not, especially a 305 you described it as mint condition which it wasnt. It was your decision to drive 3hrs, I offered to meet you half way. Anyway whats done is done good luck with transmission rebuild.

 

Actually you said you couldnt meet me half way... I had to talk my friends into driving the whole way. Whats done is done. I need help not smartass reply's from people!

 

Look Slowstang,

I wasnt trying to be a smart *** in my reply. Sorry you took that way. Just thought you would get a better response from the tranny board thats all.

 

Im just a little touchy about that whole thing and I know Kevin is notorius for being a smartass because hes done it to me several times last year. I think its best if I just lock this before a Mod does anyway.

 

Ok well, good luck on the rebuild. I would suggest the dealer though they will let you copy the pages you need from their shop manuals. Thats what I did when I rebuilt my AOD in my Cougar.

 

Thanx, sorry if Im snappy I just like answers. later man

No hard feelings

 

I did find a lot of the after market manuals were copies of the dealers manuals. Some of the after market manuals actually omit some stuff. Safe bet is the dealer. I have 6k on my rebuilt tranny no problems yet

 

Well thats the thing

I have 210k and its still ok but I just wondered do I need to get a new one or is it like an engine,

just rebuild it and its ok.

I will hit up the Chevy dealership at somepoint this month.

 

well. good luck. Remember if it aint broke dont fix it. lol

 

lets just hope it aint rusted :sillylol:

 

lol if it is you got a problem lol. Your lucky though you have the hobby shop on base to help you out. I did mine in my gaage at home. You will need some special tools or a lot of improvising. The shop on base should have what you need. Take alot of didgitalpictures as you are taking it apart. That helps more than the manuals

 

Actually Im getting a Medical Discharge here in a couple months.... Thats why Im asking so many questions so fast. I want to try and get all of this done before I get out or i'll be screwed!

 

Sorry to hear of you medical difficulties hope it all works out. But, you can rebuild it. Its not too hard.

 

Thanx and I will try my best...

 

what do we have here...a couple Marines???
