Well it looks like she lives and moves again. Finished hooking everything up on the tranny, filled it with fluid and fire her up. She seems to move and shift OK. Made some noise up and down the street with a big $xxt eat'n grin
I don't see any leaks yet, just new problems showing up.

The power steering seems to come and go as to whether it works or not. The steering box does have a slight leak, but I don't know if it is the box or the power steering unit (or both). I top her off with some fluid and bleed it out, but still seems like a lot of foaming going on the power steering pump unit. Just have to figure out which one to replace.

Disappointing about the steering, but happy about the tranny, so good week afterall.
