What day are you headed down? I am in concord

 

Wed. sounds good, but I'm open. I just want to be there and rested from the drive by friday 8am. But I could leave today (sat). Do you know what they mean by a "race radio" and where do you get one?

 

I am pretty sure racing radios are just fancy hand held type frs. I think a scanner can pick up the communications

 

Sampson makes some. The look just like the radios I use at the Bay Area refineries

 

Do they rent them there? How do I get one, do you know? Anybody?

 

Just ordered a Uniden handheld scanner. Should do the trick if it gets here in time!

 

Putting in a yellow top and cb, then its off to KOH. See ya!

Hey, Happy St. Patricks Day. whats everyone up to? It's been too quiet around here.

 

Happy patty day! I swapped my transmission yesterday, only to have the new one puke fluid from the bellhousing. I've also been waiting for a clocking jig for my transfer case.

 

Did you change the torque converter input seal?

 

yup, and I used a different torque converter than the one that came with the transmission because that one was all scored up. It was like I had poured fluid straight from the bottle into the bell-housing it was leaking that badly. Im picking up the pump O ring tomorrow, hopefully that solves it. Although I don't exactly know how to replace the o-ring.

 

Was the new converter input shaft the same outside diameter? I have no idea how to change that O ring either.

 

Hmmm I'll have to check on that, I don't think they would be any different but it's possible. Im pretty sure I need a puller, but I'm not sure if I need to stand the transmission on end so things don't fall out of position or not.

 

So I did an ax15 swap about 6 months ago. While I was getting ready to bolt the shifter on, a penny jumped dowm the hole. I decided to leave it and test my luck. I drained the tranny today and this is what came out.
