Hi All!
Well, I got my new transmission in and it works perfectly!!!!!!!
I am so excited and happy I can't tell you! Everything went very smoothly other than it took twice as long as I thought it would. (two days) You have to take out a lot of parts to get it out easily. I got tech. info at "Alldata" and took out passenger side exhaust and torsion bar even though they did not say to. It made it much easier to get to fluid lines and gas lines.
Got it all back together and filled with fluid (cold and not running). Brought it down, wheels just off the floor, reconnected battery and started her up. Brought up to temp and went through gears. Had reverse and that was all. I'm thinking all the negative thoughts you can imagine! The mechanic friend of mine who was helping me says"don't get nervous" its just needs more fluid. So back up she went. We left it running in park. We pumped about 6 more qts. in untill it started to run out. Brought it back down, wheels off floor, and went through gears again. This time we had them all!!! WHEW! I took her for a test ride and everything was perfect!! I was on cloud nine! (still am)
SHE RUNS AWESOME!! very quick, shifts smooth and downshifts great when punched. I LOVE IT!
I took some pics when I got there and as I was taking apart. I didn't bother when I was putting back together would just look the same. I don't know how to post pics here so I will post in my gallery.
Thanks again everyone for your help !! Talk to soon ,Pete
