I'm Awesome
Love this post! I have seen people drive around with a stripped shell for months. It will eventually stop the whining after week two they say haha. Are you doing a full build or just a shell and seals? That's a nice looking ride.

I'm doing new clutches, steels, band, pistons, seals, etc. I guess that constitutes a full rebuild. The transmission seems to be how I hoped it'd be; everything is in pretty good condition besides the sunshell. I've yet to see any chipped or excessively worn gears. There is a ton of clutch material all over everything though. The magnet is caked, it's in the pan, it's everywhere. The only clutch pack I've inspected so far is the low-reverse and it seems to be in decent condition. I'm waiting to find out which one is destroyed. Probably 3-4.Love this post!

Pulled the transmission out of this pig. Took a while but it was mostly painless.
As you can see I broke the connector off the shift position sensor thingy. What must have been dialectric grease 20 years ago has since turned to glue. That thing was really stuck in there.
I'm waiting to tear it apart until my rebuild kit gets here, shouldn't be more than a few days.
I'm almost done done building the trans, just gotta put the valve body back in. I was waiting to do an update until I had the trans back together, but it's taken longer than expected.You ever finish this?
I'm sure they could have used replacing, but I was kinda trying to do this as cheap as reasonably possible. Partly for kicks and partly because I'm cheap. There's $250 in the transmission itself and another $250 in fluid and the torque converter.Your probably already finished with the rebuilt if not install The Beast Sun Shell much better than stock and if I were you I would replace the four shift solenoids above the transmission pan if the plastic connection plug is toast use zip ties to keep the plug in place.
