I've had it with this 904, about to give up!

I just called up A&A, they're sending me out a new pump support and pump gears, plus the gasket, rings etc and the damn pump bolts that I lost. Expensive lesson, but still less than having the trans built by someone and a definite good learning experience. I would have used a later trans, but I'd already started work on this one and had the converter rebuilt so I wanted to stick with it. If I ever put a meaner engine in this car, I'd like to swap the engine and trans in to another car to flip. I'll then use my spare 73 trans for the new engine.

I'll see if I can get the convertor flushed and I'll go back through the original valve body just to make sure everything is clean. I put a magnet in the pan and it looks to have caught a bit of stuff, so hopefully the trans will pull through.
