got the transmission back from the cleaners today. they let it soak all weekend in their big vat of cleaner and then they put them into a pressure cleaning machine. i don't remember what it was called. but the really cool part was they did all that for free!! they ROCK!! thanks dudes at Burleson Powder Coating!

i power washed them off when i got home and that pretty much took all the left overs off. then i sat them in front of my big blower heater for the garage and that dried up all the water so it wont rust. i will take my wire brush to it later and clean up the little bits that are left.

the rims are getting sand blasted, then i will take them off to get them trued and straight, then back to be powder coated. then on to mount the bias plys and balance them.

the drive shaft is getting cleaned too, and then it will off to be balanced.

i spent a bunch at Max Merritt today for the trans rebuild. exciting, but i hate spending all that money LOL!

i hope everyone gets alot out of the videos, i plan to do more on the trans when the time comes. i think it will help alot of people since there isn't really much out there about it video wise.

later,

Hank
