The spline and yoke mate up very nicely—no play or wear at all.

I think I will change the trans fluid. Seems like there must be a level inside the case where all TH400s have to be filled to—I wonder what that is so I can see if my dipstick is at the same level.
If you are talking about scotch brite pads, that should do the trick.....or I have also used a 400 grit wet /dry paper , followed with a 600 grit . As long as the rust is off & smooth, you will be fine Longhorn
