65 Barracuda daily driver
So I've started tearing the car apart to finally address the transmission horrible leak. The pan wasn't leaking, but I still decided to take it off to take a look. As you can see in the photo below there are little specks of metal in the filter. I've only driven the car about 100 miles since the V8 swap and the transmission was rebuilt. I definitely regret having gotten the transmission rebuilt by this guy. It might have even been better to not rebuild it at all and just use it as is, but I knew nothing about it and neither did the guy I bought it from.
Oh well, the slant 6 transmission lasted 13 years and was probably in worse shape. Anyways, everything is ready to tilt the transmission down and hopefully I can get the extension housing off without having to take out the entire transmission. I'm taking my time with this, because I want to do it right. Working in this tiny garage is not easy, but at least I can leave the car disassembled and don't have to worry about it.
