Good evening Gerry ,Shawn and everyone..

 

Thats rough Shawn, you better lawyer up , your ice dream has been hacked

 

Still smells in here......Gerry!

 

ure welcome George, it sure felt better

 

Evening Gerry, picked up the trans filter and modulator today, not sure what the gasket material is but it's grey in color and looks almost like felt. Would this need some type of sealant or go on dry..?

 

Dry, is is stiff/firm when you pick it up?? does it hold its shape??
or is it floppy like a cork gasket

 

It kind of looks like cork or fiber, dark grey on one side and light grey on the other.

 

Made by ATP automotive, say ATP 3rd hand pan gasket. Does it matter if I change all this before running it, does it have to be hot when drained. My wife was reading somewhere that it should be at operating temp when draining the oil, I was wondering. This thing hasn't ran in about 16 years..

 

In this case you might as well change the fluid 1st, but she's right
trans fluid is thin so it will run out easy,
after you clean the case & the pan good just put the gasket on dry & snug the bolts
make sure you add at least 4 liters of fluid before you start the motor,
then let it idle in Park, add fluid til its full on the dipstick ....
road test it & then check the fluid again & check for leaks, voila!
PM me your phone # & I'll call you if you wanna talk

 

I know the oil level is up to the modulator port . I was not planning on changing this filter right away as I want to get all the body parts on first and wiring done. I have not started this engine yet but hope to within the next couple months, maybe I should wait to change the filter then.

 

The trans fluid is probably low now so just check the level before you start the engine
then with it idling in Park be ready to top up the fluid so it doesnt starve the pump
when yer ready I'll be here chum

 

Howdy Gerry and John...happy 2017!
