Started working on putting in the transgo HD2 shift kit.
Found some stuff I didn't like.
So I did the one thing I told myself I would not do on this swap!
Pulled the trans!
I tell you, those torque converter bolts were a pain in the ass to get out!!!!
I decided it was probably a good idea for a rebuild on this trans... I didn't want to do it but looks like I should definitely do it. Luckily I already have a rebuild kit laying around that I got it and the shift kit for it for $50. Now to decide if i should rebuild myself or what.. Kind of what it done fast so thats a drive to let someone else do it. It would take me a few weekends.
Otherwise got most of engine painted up and all.
So this week I will be ordering some parts.
What replacement torque converter bolts and manifold bolts do yall recommend? Is there some that are better or should I just got to fastenal and get some high grade replacements?
Also really torn if I should replace torque converter or not. Opinions? I would go back stock stall only.
Rebuilding trans was probably a bad idea. I was really wanting to start tearing the 87 apart next weekend.
