Completely fed up!!!
So if you have seen all of my threads about being fed up, well this time its for real. I am done. I will be listing the 66 for sale.
Heres the problem as it sits. I have had problems with the transmission. I had it rebuilt about 4 years ago by a friend. B&M rebuild kit and shift kit, 2100 stall torque converter. I recently put the tranny in. Replaced front and rear seals, and pan gasket. First, the pan gasket leaks, replaced it, still leaks. Saw today that the pan needs to be replaced. No biggie. However, this morning, with a tiny bit of fluid, shifted to reverse, drove across a small lot, shifted into drive, drove into a bay. We then pulled the pan, drained all the rest of the fluid, cleaned the pan, (this is when we found out the pan is screwed. We threw a hail mary, and cleaned the pan and the trans surface thoroughly, new gasket, permatexed, installed, let it dry, then filled with new fluid. Now the truck wont move in any gear forward or reverse. The shifter linkage works fine, I checked to make sure. We let it warm up to , normal temp, still nothing. checked fluid on level ground, nuetral, park, full of fluid. Still NO movement. I have a baby on the way, a single income family of 3 plus one on the way. I am tired of throwing money in this bucket. I dont have a clue what to do, and no money to replace the trans. SO....it is for sale. MODS: please dont delete this, I will be posting this for sale if someone doesnt come up with a miracle. sincerely; DONE!!!!
