Someone gave a TH350 that was supposed to be good. I put it into my '67 stepside and started the engine but did not drive it. I went to service the tranny and found lots of water in the tranny fluid. I think maybe the tranny and sat in the rain and filled with some water. I removed the pan and am draining it. I think I will just fill it with good fluid, change the filter and have another go at it. Check it before I drive it and see if it is clear...maybe change it a couple more times until clear. Any other thoughts?
