Stop in for a cup of coffee

Car back together.

New filter, gasket and fluid in the transmission.

Lifted the back end to run it through the gears. Didn't immediately come back but wasn't sure if it was the fluid getting circulated or not. Indications were the same. Unresponsive, then began to engage

Test drive. Acceleration was improved. Ran through the gears up and down easily.

Stopped at 3 miles... would not go into reverse... cycled the Park lever, put into Drive then Reverse. Drove back. Did 3 quick surges coming out of the parking lot but didn't do that again

Back at the house .. waiting for it to cool down and reevaluate.


Hey Mike. A. Great bunch in here for certain.

I'll get on the computer later up type up the day's report. A win on the carb rebuild...
Transmission is still a mess. It just has a new filter and fresh fluid. Same issue... only change is that it came around to being reactive faster but still nothing when it's cold. Frustrating

8 mile loop... 45 - 65 mph car ran up to like 205 degrees so there's a lot of work left to be done apparently.
Also, top it off of fluid now that you’ve ran it. It’s likely one or both pumps and the converter were dry.
