....the T 400 that is. Second time in 4 years...that is.
My REMCO guy took good care of me, not sure how well that first rebuild was, as I posted in poetry form the lack of quality including leaving the original and missing flexplate washers inside of the torque converter channel where they spun around for four years. That shop now closed.
It took a couple of tries, had to pull it twice in two weeks to go through it again, did not go with the 2400 stall converter. They boiled out the 4 year old T350 converter, had to tinker with throttle body to get that all to move freely.
So, it still seems a bit futzy when cold, (included now is a trans cooler), it will act like a two speed powerglide, winding out and shifting from first to third, but when warmed up seems ok. At least I have a year warranty this time which helped because a week later, the (new) rear seal was leaking, and what was discovered was that the new U joint they installed had some play in it, they had to build a hybrid with different bearing cups on rear yoke side.
I was this close )( to going manual, and before this warranty year is out, may start shopping. The original clutch pedal is still laying on floor disconnected, but I know I would be hanging a whole new animal.
Thanx for allowing my rant.
