Well I have some feelers out for that trans filter extension tube. We'll see what happens. In the mean time I will finish tearing down the C6. Got side tracked today with some wine bottling with the old girl, hair cut, and fueling up the Doge. Soooo tomorrow , the girdle goes on early and out to the shop. It's gonna be a cold night over here in Cranbrook, they are calling for -16C and Sunday -20. Good thing I am inside. Well almost bedtime guys .... y'all stay warm and play safe.

 

Gonna be cold here tonight Pop, -28*C I think,
get the girdle on & keep plugging away man, there are a lot of parts to clean
take some pictures of things as you rip it apart , for later

 

lol Gerry, I don't think that the girdle will help with the chill in the air. Yes I do intent to take pics as I go along with the tear down. Ya never know when you may need reference for something you have NEVER done before. I just posted a request on the main FTE section for that extension tube to. I know you said it isn't really nessesary, BUT what the hay. If I can find one why not eh? I did have good intentions again to get out to the shop... Damm company keeps showing up for a coffee and what not. If the ppl that show up are ppl I can see anytime... BOOM OUT I got things to do. But these are friends I haven't seen in a coons age. lol Anyway... yeah It be still on the chilly side over here -7C and a bit of a breeze to. I'll have another go at that C6 tomorrow. I will hide out there.. as in CLOSE AND LOCK the door. !!!! Y'all have a great day, stay warm and play safe.

 

Yes, if you can get a pick-up tube then by all means get it,
hope you have a better day tomorrow,
you cant ignore your friends, good friends are hard to find

 

Got a reply on that C6 extension tube. Some guy in the states has 2 of them USED. Take a guess as to what he wants for them!!!! $100 each AND I have to buy both of them !!!!! I was polite and said NOPE. Anyways got kinda carried away tearing down the C6 yesterday. Took some pics of the parts and all the bits. That video from Ken Collns is really helpful BUT you still have to use some common sense. Out late last night with the old girl and some of the girlfriends... I AM NOT moving real fast or far today. Couchterfield day. lol I will see if I can post up some pics. Gerry the steels and clutches are in GREAT shape as are the reast of the parts. I still have to tear down the valve body and govenor to check those out. The case goes to My buddy in Guelph for a good jet wash on Tuesday after my 4 moth check up. I do hope I can remember how this thing goes back together. lol Just take my time and if I am NOT sure. call Gerry.

 

Pop, a tube will show up when you need it, ure wise to turn down that 100. deal
I might have one here, or George will have one,
keep the valve body together til you are ready to clean & install the shift kit,
dont take it apart til you can finish it in one day .......
dont loose the pin in the modulator valve,
yes the internals look good from here, no heavy scoring on anything eh
take a good look at your 'sprag' one way roller clutch in the rear drum,
make sure you get it back in the same way ....
take it easy chum

 

before you send the case out to be cleaned, remove the intermediate servo & the shifter/park linkage,
there's a case seal in there to replace
hold the kick down lever while you loosen off that 1/2 inch nut, dont break it
dont dunk the neutral safety switch in the wash tank, just clean it off
get him the clean the extension housing too

 

will do Gerry thanks. I must apologize to the person who posted, what I thought was a reply to my inquiry for the extension tubes, It was a reply to another thread for doors. My bad. He hasne't replied to me yet.

 

Hey Ger, did you see where Glen Wood passed away on Friday? Sad day in the area down here.

OK Pop, I forgot to look for a tube today,

George I didnt know that, he will be missed

 

George do you have a c6 4x4 long pick-up tube

 

No 4x4 transmissions, Ger.. Except what's in my 86 4x4 plow truck.

 

K .

 

Pop, I think you could make the pick-up tube for about 2 bucks, thats what I'd do,
if it ever warms up here I'll go check my 20ft sea box

 

Got the truck moved into the garage on Friday.
