Chances of finding a small issue that can be fixed without a rebuild are slim.

How much does trans fluid cost? How many times you going to fill and drain and throw away that fluid before rebuilding anyway? How much time, labor, and smelling of trans fluid before having to break down and rebuild? Even if just one band or adjustment makes it work again, how long before it finally burns up complete? Hint: less time than if it was overhauled. Next time you may not be so close to home..

The kits are cheap and you'll score a converter one way or another. Tear into it with lots of pictures and a FSM on hand. It's really not hard and you'll learn a ton along the way... Just my $.02

Converter is the hard part. A stock or even getting the 27-20 from you are on the lower cost end I think. The only problem is if I'm not happy with converter I'd have to tear into it again to replace it.

This is the speedometer (governor cable?). It was moved away from the firewall when I painted the engine, could this be the culprit?

Ps I think I fucked up my rear band adjustment. I guess I checked it wrong and now I have to try and figure out how to get it back to exactly how tight it was, which isnt that easy lol. The band's seem a little loose now :eek:
