Clean 55 Caribbean. If it mechanically checks out, seems like a fair price at $45k

Got the carb rebuilt today, but have no working engine to test it on. Yet...
I don't have a wire gauge set for the two measurements, so perhaps I will have to bring it to work sometime to borrow theirs for a bit. It may be close enough already.

I made a video on disassembling and reassembling the low range brake without using ANY of the special tools. It's a bit clumsy, but not too hard to do.

Thanks Ross. On this transmission the bands were worn down noticeably (nearly to the bottom of the grooves); I have not yet checked the HR or DD clutches. I figured the relative lack of actual fluid circulation in the piston circuit would have something to do with the buildup.
Aside from obviously being a sign of clutch wear, does this sludge tend to do any harm by itself? Edit: I noticed it has a good amount of metal grit in it, so the answer is probably "yes".

Ok, I figured out a way to disassemble the low range brake. What I’m wondering is why there is so much sludge in the bottom of the brake. This transmission the fluid looked and smelled normal (different transmission than earlier in the thread) so I’m curious where this sludge came from. I already wiped some off the piston but there is plenty remaining in the center by the spring.
Note to reader: both of these parts are upside-down relative to their installation in the car/transmission, so the sludge is on top in the photo.

Oh, sorry guys. My printout quality is pretty bad! I linked to the page on here without re-reading it. For what it's worth, I can get you a PU364 drawing too if it would help, but I trust that Howard is correct.
I was wondering, because PU354 is clearly a press tool

Thanks Howard but it's PU 354 in question, not 364.
