He guys,
Today i managed to remove my tranny from my '69 Coronet R/T.
Lucky me i found it is the original transmission with the VIN stamped in the pad.
I will do a full dismantle and check everything and replace what is required.
Some observations i had so far i wanted to share with you guys and see what you think and eventually some recommendations perhaps.
I measured the input shaft axial play and found it to be 0.0750", not sure if that is correct but it seems a lot.
Some metal debris found inside the pan and filter but nothing excessive imo.
I wonder if the filter spacer is stock? Or is this an extension version and my pan is bigger in capacity.
I think i have no stock pan since it has a drain plug so it could be a bigger size capacity?
I already dismantled the valve block and started on the modifications for a TransGo TF-2 kit.
Also not sure about the adjustment screw for the throttle valve is original or not, you can see it partially on the pictures.
I think i can see the same in the TransGo manual but not sure.
Tomorrow i will continue and finalize the valve body modifications, after that i will pull the pump and all other parts.
Will see what is the condition of the bands and clutches, i did not have issues with the transmission but since it is out to change the converter i want to go through it to make sure i do not have to pull it again later on.
Do the bands look stock? I have no idea if someone has gone through it before or maybe nothing has ever been done before.
