Hey guys I am back in "fix the GTX"mode. Anybody got a recommendation for a place to get that Master Cylinder? One of you pointed me to Brewers for the transmission parts and they were super good. I hope one of you can point me to a good source with good quality. I'm not saying that price is...

Love that meme. Yep, you guys have not missed once on a diagnosis. I keep wondering if somehow, somewhere, I'm going to get a bill for "consulting"! David

Great advice as always. Thanks to each of you. I will get busy with that tomorrow after I mow the grass! David

The junction from the MC to the Booster is dry. So I guess the fluid is running down into the booster from the MC, correct?

Yes indeed! I have a "slightly used" two-piece shifting fork for a souvenir!

Here is an update for any of you who might be interested. We pulled the side cover off and found a broken shift fork. The shift forks seem to be made of brass or similar material. I ordered 2 new forks from Brewers (thanks for the recommendation) these forks are made of steel. We were able...

Hey guys the GTX has been losing some brake fluid and I felt under the brake booster and it was wet, so I assume that is the issue. I did most of my mechanic work when I was a kid and we didn't have a lot of power brakes back then. So I need your advice. I looked through the forum about brake...

Thanks guys, I'm going out to try all those things that you suggested. The car shows 48,000 miles, and according to paperwork, those are supposed to be original miles. I appreciate your input and I will report back when I try these things. David

I need to gather some wisdom from you folks. Just a little background, I have built a few engines in my life, put in some clutches and that kind of stuff. I have never had any experience with transmissions. So here is my situation: My 1969 GTX with 4 speed transmission has lost the ability to...

That's a pretty good range - from 0 to 90 in one gear!

That's good to know, thanks.

Everything is pretty tame with the 440. When I first got the GTX, one of my sons and I were taking it for a ride and he was driving. He took off and when he tried to shift to 3rd, there was nothing there - he had started in 3rd and didn't even know it. So, it is geared pretty low. Yes, I saw...

I am changing the gears in my Dana 60 in the next couple of weeks. I'm interested to get you guys opinions on those 3.23 gears mentioned above. The GTX has 4.10's now. I remember an old adage : "Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you SHOULD do it." I am not a racer, just a...

Well, if I had been in that crowd we might have both ended up in jail! In the early 70's our Base Commander at McChord asked us to go straight home and change in to civvies right after work and not to wear our uniforms in public unless we had to. In those days there were some real nut-cases in...

I spent 4 years in the USAF -1970-1974. One year in electronics school at Keesler AFB, then three years at McChord AFB. I was supposed to spend that last year in S.E. Asia, but one month before my scheduled departure all orders for that theater were cancelled. I repaired navigation beacons...
