CUL8R 924 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Agree with you on the Vinyl roofs, never been a fan but on those late 60's, early 70's muscle cars they're starting to grow on me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piazzanoob 2,066 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 the easiest way ive found to do selector seals on 727 or 904 trans is to pull pan and valve body out and put new seal in then the seal is fitted square. but this is how its done with trans in car. nice progress looking forward to the end result 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The waiting part is inevitable but the more parts I clean up and paint in the mean-time, the more I gag to put them back on the car and feel some sense of achievement, lol! havent really dialled-in how I’ll be suspending it while doing repairs cause there won’t be shit left to rest stands/hoist pads. future problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RUNAMUCK 30,984 Posted April 10 Author Report Share Posted April 10 Theres actually a thing called a seal saver for those shifter seals. It's something like a disc which prevents the shifter body moving ecentricly and the seal losing contact. *so I heard, second hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smaller than my palm? I said don’t bother touching the crusty bits or surrounding areas as that’s going to end up on the cutting room floor anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JustHarry 2,183 Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 I imagine you will be able to buy almost every part you need to repair for this? That will make the job 11ty billion times quicker and easier. Especially with large and involved repairs Talking from experience in the matter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
