Good luck with the transmission, hopefully it just needs service...the joys of owning a 50 year old vehicle!

Yep, transmission is toast. It needs a complete rebuild.

Sorry to hear that Sam, are you going to get it rebuilt or are you going to look for a replacement?

I have a good transmission shop/guy to rebuild it. I don't want to take another chance on someone else's project. Not happy about it but what the hell.

It's bad that it happened but at least you have someone you can trust to do a good job with it. If you're like me, I don't mind paying if I know the job will be done right!
