Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

One of the projects to start while I’m at the shop is the work on this car and, while the transmission with overdrive is not at the top of the list, I do need to ask the best way to flush it out once drained. The one on the right which has stripped gears is the donor for it’s R11 overdrive to be used on the good transmission on the left. I’m not planning on rebuilding it but just getting it serviceable.
Is there some cleaner in particular that I need so that I can get it ordered? The shop is miles away from anything and I typically don’t have transportation when here so ordering is the best way for me.
These transmissions are about the most weight these cheap engine stands can hold in spite their relatively high weight rating. Sure, they can probably hold that weight if it didn't stick out adding leverage to it but that's not how they were designed to be used. Any engines have to be blocked up on the other end for safety. I bought them as a place to begin in making a double-ended stand for straight-6 and straight-8 Packard engines but never got much farther than buying them!
