Re: My TH350 rebuild

got a call from my other job yesterday, so I didn't get to post, so here are some of my pics.
1. these small bolt/nuts I replaced due to the old bolts vibrated out
so I made sure these wouldn't.
2. I had just removed the three (3) bolts (TH350) connecting my flywheel to
my Torque converter, I was able to rotate the converter with one finger
so I know know that after I rebuild, I should be able to still rotate this easily.
3. The modulator after I just removed the vacuum hose.
4. a shot of the worn down transmission fluid return line.
I found that if I use reinforced hose that allows for some flexibility of routing,
but I want to keep it as straight as possible to keep the fluid dynamics
flowing good, and keep resistance to a minimum. I may look into bending
my own tube to a custom route, because I will be installing a specific
transmission inter cooler in line after going through the radiator cooler.
5. a look at the bottom of the transmission with the pan removed, the filter
clearly visible, after I drained the pan for the second time getting the rest
of the fluid out I am still finding parts of the friction gaskets, and such in
the bottom of the pan, as well as alot of thick burn fluid just hanging
around the bottom of the pan as well.
I will get this cleaned out and looking real nice and get a layer of like
undercoating on the pan so it don't rust and I am going to make a skid
plate for protection of the underneath of the transmission.
As soon as possible, I am also going to be getting new mounts, and other
bushings for everything that the trans oil wore down.
