The Gran Torino is in Surgery.

She is getting her C6 redone.

Got a call yesterday from the shop.....They said the internals are immaculate and all original down to the seals, but the seals are all shot same with the bushings. We also have THE rarest stall converter ever put in the C6 from factory still in the car. Soon she will be back, Thursday that is, and I’ll be having fun with her again!

Yes, they said they were rock hard or turned to dust then they pulled them off, they said it had never been opened before.

Yikes!

Knocks on wood that my C4 is holding up....

Also, I hope you trust the shop to put the same stall converter back in...

I’m guessing it’s the 3000 stall converter then? That would make it a rare beast for sure.

What’s your axle ratio?

Yes it’s a 2400rpm stall

It has a similar issue as the C6 so go get it checked

I think it’s the 2400 one the 3000 didn’t exist in 1973 I don’t think

Great....

That would be my luck. Finally chase down my coolant issue and the Trans seals would be junk.

You will know when it begins to leak

The 3000 stall was installed up to 74 on the Q code cars.

Ask them to measure it.

Can’t find it, I know I have it framed but still so much unpacked cause we have no room. But the guy said it was the highest but I just looked it up they only went up to 2400

Yeah, that’s pretty damn noticeable.

How much did it run you if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah, I just know if I have a similar problem it’s going to end up parked for a while, I don’t have an extra grand to get the trans done right now....off to go knock on an entire forrest
