That was 1700, I did the R/R. Warranty long expired, I wouldn't take it there anyway. The second shop R/R and rebuilt it as needed, with a new T converter. Same price, not a scratch and they treated me so well. They said the former shop grinded a rod, pin or something like down, which engages reverse; perhaps "for a smoother shift".....

I developed an assembly guide (kit) for restoring this truck from the ground up, complete with details including full hardware descriptions. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM. My build thread, with some info. about the assembly kit https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
