Re: My Latest Toy - 72 K5 Blazer CST

Yesterday was fun. Pulled the trans and knew what the problem was right off. This is what happens when you don't fully seat the torque convertor. These are the trans pump gears and you can clearly see the broken pieces. Only took me 6 hours to get it to finally move on its own. Thats not counting the 2 hours chasing down trans parts to fix it on a Saturday. I'll work on exhaust leaks today and then road test it. Fingers crossed!
