Priming the converter. 1. Fill transmission with fluid until it appears on dipstick. 2. Disconnect coil wire. 3. Spin engine over for about a minute. 4. Check fluid level. If it's lower than before then fill until it appears full. If not, turn engine over for another minute. Check and fill. 5. Make sure you have several quarts ready to go within arms reach. Connect coil wire and fire the engine. Check fluid level. It should be down. Fill and check. Fill and check. Fill and check. You get the idea. Similar to priming a new engine prior to starting it for the first time. If you ever get that seal out, that is. Good Luck.
Sounds easy enough. I just don't want it to start, but turn slowly...Might need an extra battery, or jump it off a running car. Also, might need a new starter when I am done But that seal...
Scott; I have the same problem, and I just bought the seal the other day. I'm going to change the converter while it is out, to a 2400 stall speed, and change all the seals, so I am watching this with great interest. BTW, I have the passenger seat brackets boxed up, and Tuesday they go to you. Take care, Earl
Earl, you have the same problem with the seal? I hope I can get it out without dropping the trans.... I will keep an eye out for those brackets. THanks for the help with those.
Scott; yeah, it leaks pretty bad. I'm hoping to get to it when it warms up a bit. Have you done anything with the seats yet? Mine are really nice, very comfortable. Later, Earl
Earl, I am waiting for the other set of brackets, then I will buy some carpet and do the whole shebang at once. Just waiting for the pocketbook to get a little thicker (post-Christmas thinness) and still arguing with the wife about the final color of the car, and what color carpet will fit with it. Gotta do it before it gets hot, which is...hmmm...day after tomorrow, the way the weather is in Texas
