Ok guys I have not been able to install the Gear Vendor housing onto the 727 smallblock. Well technically I did once but then i realized that the transmission arm was not properly seated in the housing because it wouldn't shift so I unbolted the housing and attempted again. Unfortunately, I got pissed off because I couldn't get (2) separate snap ring pliers to open up the snap ring that goes over the bearing.
After 1.5 hours I decided to remove the housing and rip out the snap ring and bend it!! So now I need a new one but don't know where to get it and if there is a one size fits all??
The snap ring didn't have anywhere to really grab onto it and just kept on slipping and slipping and on and on.... Is there a special tool or special pair of snap ring pliers specifically for this? I swear I'm cursed with this little detail.
Anyway I now need a snap ring to open up and slide over the transmission bearing to seat itself.
Thanks in advance.
