Re: still need transmission help

[Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx>]

I will quote you because you are TOTALLY correct. More
investigation has found that the pin CANNOT be removed
from the transmission unless the tail shaft housing is
removed or loosened and the assembly rotated enough to
clear the nub you have mentioned...the nub is clearly
there to prevent the pin from coming out...had I known
this two days ago I would have removed the nub myself
probably, but I was chicken because of my lack of
knowlege. I didn't know if the nub has a passage
inside of it... I am also not sure of the location of
whatever ( O ring/ circlip) holds the pin in
place...so I have punted....But !!!!!
I finally got someone at Transgo to answer the help
line phone and WOW !!!! This guy IS the BOMB!!  I
explained the problem he said, " Oh yes, that is a
problem in the very early heavy transmissions (1962
Imperial)". He then told me a work around that would
give me "almost as much 1-2 shift firmness as the kit,
but not quite"....

 I voted for "almost"...went back into the valve body,
made the mods and am now trying to button it up...I
just hope I can remember where all the stuff
goes......
