put the trans in filled it up double checked everything 4 times   started it up by the time i got over to pull the dipstick oil was coming out the front seal pulled the darn thing back out   the seal was fine as it was already replaced so now im stumped    only thing i can think of was the convertor wasent all the way in  gunna try it again today  its  a sob to get it in there by myself  its about 4 1/2 feet of the ground 

[BigFrank]

front pump bushing had a burr on it not letting the convertor go into the gear all the way put back together and moves back and forth  gotta get a shifter

[BigFrank]

chompin at the bit waiting for my new shifter should be here today  via ups    did however get a d shaft loop put in between trans and t case  its real close to the shifting rods for t case and didnt want em to get tore up if a u joint fails

[poorboyzmuddin]

very cool bud keep up the good work hope to see it soon taring it up out their

[BigFrank]

well this transmission is giving me fits    let the engine warm up  check trans oil a little high on the stick  drained some out started back up put it in 1 st gear moved foward then started pumping oil out the pump  new seal convertor and no extra parts from rebuild kit    my dad says i broke the pump gear when convertor wasent in all the way so ill take it out again   oh well all i can do is have a and open a jar of kick ass

[old school truck dude]

Yup, x2 Dang! I hate it when that happens.   

[BigFrank]

weird thing is the trans works in low and reverse anyway im gunna take it back out take out the pump check it over   iguess this was to  be expected  as this is the first one ive tried to overhaul   ill give it one more try then if that fails ill go pay someone  6 or 7 hundred to tell me what i did wrong  i guess

[Blazin40s]

Hope it works for u man!

[BigFrank]

hahaha  it works   changed the pump out  and no leaks  ???did the same things to the first one      got it down to 18 minutes to take it out and about 25 to put back in  lol

[Blazin40s]

So she moves???

[BigFrank]

yup moves and no leaking  lol   have to get a alternator  now  turned on the fans and it smokes the belt  and isnt charging  also going to go back to a mechanical fuel pump i dont think my regulator is working properly   shifter is all mounted and works smoothly       and the frustration level is way down also
