Thank you so much for that video. Very helpful!!

I got that bushing in today. Used a press at a friends tractor shop nearby..

I am all too familiar with pressing those detents in, prior to the manual lever shaft mod (using my pinky) and having my son do the same... We modified that when it was in the car, only removing pan. Not too bad...

He'll be master mechanic soon (he's 13).

The smaller copper bushings (oil pump) tolerances are still good. I haven't looked into replacing those. I'd most likely do more damage removing and installing those without proper tooling....

I will check the torque converter internals out and reassemble, then finalize everything on this within a couple days.

I hope to have it back in and tested shortly.... Hot here too.... 102 today in east bay.
