Thanks, this is my second time "building" a trans in this car. 4 (I think?) years ago I picked up a modified VB\CP and a junkyard trans, then went through everything I could in that trans, restacking frictions to tighter tolerances, all that jazz. I wanted to do it with used parts before I paid out for new parts and better parts. That trans is still in the car and working great, I actually sold it to my friend who will change it to 3.29s and put it in his 97 GTP. I did go a bit further into this one though, checking engagement on each friction stack, cleaning everything (that I could) in a parts washer, checking endplay, etc. Hopefully it'll shift better than the current trans, which still shifts fine, honestly.
In other news, a Dorman pan, new Delco pump shaft, 2 .090" steels for the 2nd gear stack, and a roll over header wrap will be here before the week's end. I'm wrapping the flex pipe to see if a "clicking" type noise is coming from it. I also got news that we might be working the next 4 Saturdays, which would give me 66 hour weeks for the next month, with literally having a 37 hour weekend. Needless to say, if that's true, not sure when this thing will end up in the car, lol.
