1968 rebuilding transmission

[mbsf1970]

So, plenty of leaks that need fixing. Fixing leaks is only a few hundred dollars less than rebuilding so I've opted to get it rebuilt.

Suggestions or insights that I should know regarding the process? I was asked what I wanted from the rebuild......I said a leak free transmission...what might I have said? Remember that I'm a stock kinda guy...

If you suggest anything, please explain what the benefit is and why its worthwhile doing?

I always include a shift kit (long ago it was a Transgo Stage II) on a rebuild. The stiffer/quicker shift actually reduces slippage in the bands, which is better for them.

Got it.... faster shift patterns in exchange for the extended durability and added fuel economy.

brand to use? Trans Go? B&M?

Consider DIY if you are handy. They are not hard to rebuild.

Buy the "Bad Shoe" videos on line and you can rebuild it in a weekend... and learn something and save a lot of $$$! :smile:
