Go to your local trans shop!

Found an awesome transmission shop in Columbia SC for parts for my TH350 in my 71 GMC. Transtar (formerly Cadco?) had the bullet speedo seal with orings, hat seal, dipstick, and tube (generic 350etc.), pan gasket, and filter in stock for about $35 with tax. NAPA had the shifter seal and tool for $13, but Transtar had those, too. Now all I need is time to do the work... with a wife, 2 year old, and two month old time is getting tight...'hey hunny, kids need furniture, amiright?!? lemme fix the truck!' Shop local people.

Re: Go to your local trans shop!

actually Transtar is a big corporation they are everywhere, I had to get some parts and a lip seal tool so I called a local tranny shop , he said just go to transtar downtown and get it , that is where he would have got it from and then marked up the parts to sell me
