Okay here we go!

In the short term I am going to just try and get the Ultramatic NOT to leak! With (4) months to retire, it has always been my hope to have the 400 completed and shown at(2) of Tucson's larger fall car shows. The first show is next Saturday & the other show is (2) weeks later.

So today my pal Tom & I decided to pull the transmission out and replace that front seal. As pictures show, the seal currently in the transmission has virtually no seal material extending past the inner ID of the seal. I guess I should have noted this before it was put in a few weeks ago. Second issue, the torque converter's main shaft seems loose? It can ever so slightly move (twist) it by hand.

It the morning, we'll replace the seal & I'm planning on putting my other torque converter into this transmission. I hope the 55 & 56 interchange?

Any other thoughts out there before the morning begins?? The older I get, the faster I was ...(Charles Barkley) and working on one's back is tough work.
