Re: Trans fluid change: What else to do?

G'day all, It is very common for Ultra's and Twin-ultra's to have worn bushings and shaft inside the front pump after a normal service life. Packard used these bushings almost as seals. Almost everyone inspects the pump rotors for clearance as per the overhaul instructions but neglects to consider the worn bushings and shaft. It costs about $120 to hardchrome and regrind the shaft to size and around $30 to replace the two bushings in the front pump. It makes so much difference to have the push in the back when going into direct drive rather than the groan and slippage of a deficient high range clutch pack and direct drive clutch.
