You guys are dreaming! I cranked up a junker that had set in a field for 35 years. after idling a few minutes I shifted it and all gears pulled. I then put that tranny in my car and it worked great. To think you can get that one to function correctly without work is a pipe dream. Pressure checks would be in order to find failure but doubt they would be useful from the symptoms described.

That is a no brainer. If my engine was representative, the rear plug was completely covered with rust and scale, the next forward plug was about 1/2 covered. No amount of flushing and Evaporust will remove that much buildup. Removing the plugs and digging out the buildup is a good start to restore the system before treating with ANYTHING to remove the rust. John

Wanted advice when refitting transmission pan ,with Gasket sealant
TexasJohn55 replied to Wayne R's topic in Buick - Post War
old-tank's method has it's merits. cementing the gasket to the pan keeps it from squeezing out. -

TexasJohn55 replied to Wayne R's topic in Buick - Post War
I don't use anything on rubber, the gasket tends to squeeze out when tightened, bone dry should seal. JMHO John -
That is normal with mine also after short hot shutdown. Re timing: The blade acts as a flywheel, acting to continue rotation by the mass inertia. Try removing the blade and cranking up the mower, violent kickback. I learned this as a kid fooling around with old mower engines, only found one that would consistently crank up without kickback when blade was removed. I learned if I pulled it FAST I could crank it up. Also had very aggressive throttle response, kinda like my Buick 264 without the torque converter bolted up.😉
