Hey guys,

It's me again. By the way, thanks for all the help so far on my '68 coupe project.

Question: The '66 Fairlane that had the 289 and the C-4 sat for 10 years. The motor needed the work I did to it. New rings and a head job and gaskets, of course. (Thanks Steve).

My question is the tranny. Do i need to break the tranny down and do a complete rebuild? The car only had 60,000 miles from the factory and was at 70 mph when it found itself in a cow pasture.

The fluid smells like it just came out of the bottle. There again, I don't want to spend money that is not neccessary but I am doing this car right.

Thanks again for all the help. You guys are great.

I was also going to ask if there was a limited amount of work I could do to this tranny. ie. Change the seals and fluid.

I am not a bad mechanic butI have limited skills in tranny work.

I'd change the fuild and filter, look it over real good for damage. And run it and see what happens.
