Kim, that string, well that worked too
Automatic transmissions aren't very hard to do, if you can build an engine then you can build a trans too!!
Just take a good look at what you are doing, the same for engine building!
I've cleaned everthing inside the trans, checked all parts, new seals and gaskets where necessery, new filter, new oil, filled it....and yes we have a working trans!!
It has not been very hot yet, but it shifts now and no more odd sounds.
We will see if this helped, for now it is okay, it feels good.
Whats left is make some repairs on the chassis, which are a must for the Dutch title, and repair the lower door hinges.
The PO had cut a hole in the front crossmember
and cut the whole original crossmember for the gearbox out, only two pieces are left in the chassis.
The front one is repairable, the two pieces for the gearbox must disappear (what aint there, you can't examine....).
After that I can finally go on with rewiring the truck...
To be continued
