Is this Still available and if it is does it comes with the side mounting bolts and washers?
-
Yes i mean the ambient temperature being cold.. it’s stiff moving through the gears…it remains stiff with the linkage disconnected at the firewall
-
Hi guys.. what would make my shifter stiff to move but only when it’s cold out.. if it’s hot out it’s easy to move..dynaflow

The truck is cut titled in Colorado and I’m in New Mexico.. because it’s out of state transfer they would do a vin inspection which I’ve done plenty of times no problem but the vehicles always had their inty tags they’ve never had to look at the frame…
-
I’m sure this has been asked before but I’m thinking about getting a 62 ford f100 however the warranty plate is missing from the glove box.. owner says title matches vin stamped on frame.. my question is will the dmv look at the frame when they do a vin inspection or is that too hidden for them to mess with?? It’s fairly easy to see from the engine bay but all my other vehicles have their door tags etc so I’m not sure if they would actually look at the frame.

Maybe my memory is wrong but didn’t you have the radiator recored??
-
I completely understand.. In my situation i kinda didn’t have much choice..i was pretty sure the original power brake set up was keeping light pressure on the rotors.. and i was right.. You might also consider the power master powergen looks stock but works great I’ve had no complaints about it besides price.. got tired of regulator’s going out and just being dead off the shelf and yes i was polarizing them and they sadly were made in usa units

Curiosity question.. on a 56 special if you unscrew the speedo cable at the transmission would it leak there while driving?
-
Welcome back!! I had the same problem with disc brakes and ended up going with a battle born master cylinder set up.. works pretty well…

Are you talking about the blue bottle oil additive stp bottle? Just one?
-
Old tank do you have any experience with that trans x stuff??
-
Any thoughts.. or any luck on stop leak.. looking at one from crc called trans x in a blue bottle…I’m the first guy to jump up and down against any stop leak but I’m kinda in a bad position to actually repair it and this stop leak is very thin not some thick goopy stuff
-
Well easier said than done i live at an apartment sooooo lol…the transmission was rebuilt about 25 years ago and I’ve never had a problem it was literally my daily driver so i just need to figure out how to get this resealed.
-
I have a feeling it’s the o ring on what I’ll call the input shaft bearing retainer..i think it’s leaking on that one side and running down the bell housing.. you can see it running down about halfway up on the driver side.. that red line shows up real quick after wiping down
-
This is a daily driver literally so unfortunately that’s not the issue.. it did settle down a good amount after running a bit but obviously we have an issue here lol
-
I could see seeping around the torque converter.. might be worth a shot
-
Well guys it looks like a domesday situation for me.. I’m guessing front seal is shot.. this pic is after a few minutes of running.. it slowed way down after running a bit but obviously this is a problem.. the thing that is throwing me off is it’s quickly building up and running down the bellhousing where it mates with the engine.. about halfway up on the driver side..i can’t see anything on the outside that would cause it to leak there.. I’m guessing it’s throwing fluid and building up there and leaking down???
-
Thank you buickbrothers for the in depth question and for the heads up on the check ball!!
-
Thanks to both of you!!

Nailheadbob if you don’t mind posting what’s actually in the kit

Hey johnd1956…does your book happen to show the gasket mating surface of the high pressure accumulator?? Or maybe the gasket itself?? I think i found a kit that has it but the vendor claims it doesn’t come with it.
-
I’ve had good luck with fatsco in the past but it doesn’t look like they have these..i think I’ve found them in a kit now my main concern is how strong those springs are lol.. they don’t look too bad but…lol thanks johnd1956 for that break down it was helpful.

Hi guys its finally gotten to the point that i need to address some leaks on my 56 dynaflow. I know my accumulator caps are leaking but I’m nervous about removing them cause of the spring underneath them.. has anyone done this job in the car? How strong are those springs? Also I’d like to actually remove the accumulators from the body of the transmission and replace those gaskets but all i can find are 48-54 and 57-60 gaskets I’ve checked all the antique transmission online shops…does anyone carry the correct gaskets for the 56??….. looks like maybe old cars inc part number tsk550 might have the correct one for a 56…
