Go with new fluid and you'll be much happier and it will be less expensive in the long run.

 

so the trans is done the shift kit went in pretty easy too all that left is the corvette servo which hasn't been delivered yet but is pretty simple tomorrow ill be putting the trans in the car and hopefully the servo comes (luckily it can be installed with the trans in the car if its not here)

 

well the trans is on its way in just gotta lift it up and bolt her down... ohh and the torque arm

just taking a quick beer break

 

well shes all done just waiting on a few qts of atf to come (delivered by advance... gotta love the commercial account)

 

Let us know how she runs.

 

well i locked the motor up... i dont know how it was idling then stalled so i tried to restart it and all i got was the solenoid click got under there and tried to turn the crank bolt (thinking the gear was in betewwn teeth of the flex plate) and i couldnt turn the crank

god i hate this ****ing car

 

Make sure the bendix gear isn't wedged into the flexplate, that will make the engine seem like it's locked up.
Stalling out could have just been a coincidence (no promises expressed or implied).

 

ill check it out

 

You seriously need a priest to perform an exorcism on that car. I don't know what it did or how it did it, but it is most definitely possessed by unfriendly spirits.

Has any green crud shot out of the exhaust yet?

 

well the bendix gear is in the starter where it belongs so... shes up for sale im done with this thing
