Ok, you guys talked me into rebuilding myself, I need help now ;)

Great, thanks - I will check these things out tonight. I found the stator bushing at wittrans.com, went ahead and ordered other items (since I'm being charged $15 shipping no matter what) like a few washers, snap rings for the direct clutch pack, etc. I have called that place several times over the past few weeks - never an answer, voicemail goes to some guy, never get a return call. They did call me and leave a voice mail telling me a few things are not available and that they're shipping anyway, and to hurry up and call back if I want to cancel instead. I see a lot of recommendations for this place, but if you can find your parts elsewhere, I'd steer clear, they're kind of a pain. Transmissionpartsusa.com has been GREAT on the other hand, and their prices are fantastic with free shipping over a certain amount (not $250 like WIT).

Now...if I re-measure the direct clutch pack and it needs adjustment, I will have to have the plate machined since the snap ring isn't available :/

I KNEW I should have tossed the 67 trans and grabbed a later model. Sad thing is, this trans was in great shape (other than two inches of grime stuck to the outside of the case). It even had a wide red band, aluminum accum piston and a 4.2 lever already....and it's been sitting since at least 1980!
