    Pat's GMC transmission was acting up so we bought a rebuild kit, had the clutches soaking in transmission fluid since day one but a lot of water passed under the bridge and the rebuild never got done.

    Unbelievable the transmission still works, goes into reverse but no forward gear, put emergence brake on leave truck running in reverse for 10 minutes forward gears work.



    It's getting worse so this afternoon went on a hunt, young fellow from the reservation had a yard full of GM stuff with transmission laying on the ground, came home with a $20.00 core to rebuild.

    I'd post pictures and such on the rebuild but there's plenty of youtube videos on this particular rebuild.

    Probably the most interesting part of this rebuild will be the home made spring compressor that will be used to depress the spring pack located in the bottom rear of the transmission case.

    Mine will look similar with a different head, the bushings used to compress the spring packs will make three points of contact
