went to the local true value today and got an o-ring for 27 cents that fits nice and snug. 68AMXGOPAC they also had some o-rings that looked to be the right size for the speedo cable.

Thanks Maddog - funny, that's where I got mine at - True Value.They have tons of those little drawers of stuff,Tractor Supply has a decent assortment of odd things to that have worked for me on some projects.I didn't get the speedo one mainly because the new transfer case had the old cable cut off and the gear part siliconed in and it wasn't leaking, but I need to get it fixed soon as I hate "estimateing" speed when there's no trafic to base it on.

There are a few writeups on teh forum about rebuilding that tranny... you can do it yourself for around 100 bucks and save a ton of money. From what I've read, they're supposed to be pretty easy...

Much appreciated man!! I know very little about the internal workings of an automatic tranny. Id better leave it to the pros if i want this thing to move when Im done ;D

By the way, how does Survivors motor look? Gingers is filthy inside and out. Im gonna have to tear in down to the block to get all the sledge out of it....  :censored: :banghead:

not bad actually. i plan on getting a pic of the engine bay after i get her back together. one thing to try before you attempt to completely tear the engine apart is seafoam that stuff works really well. oh and when you come down i'll bring you to see her in person if you want.

Shane, use BG MOA, really good stuff for the oil. So powerful though that you have to change your oil after letting it sit and idle, it can't be in the engine for too long. you can also use a mixture of atf and diesel (small amount) mixed in with the oil... Just be careful either way, you don't want to free up a ton of stuff at once and have it clog oil galleries.
