Fluid Technician with a hat
I wish I could add a three car garage onto my house, but it's spend the money on my cars, or the garage. Hopefully I can do both with a financial balancing act.
What are you working on today??
- Thread starter slappys garage

I just about slipped on the ice and cracked my skull a couple of times and we made a commitment to get an attached garage.

Sorry, just realized this is the slab side forum.
Repaired a freshly restored Thermoquad for a client. From day one he had problems with the carb, called the restorer many times being told its todays fuel etc. Sent it back on his dime, the builder tells him that nothing wrong. Carb owner gives up and brings to me, I know whats wrong, open carb and worse than I was expecting. Repaired bowl main wells with a thorough cleaner sanding and some seal-all adhesive. Some cleaning and adjustments, client is installing now.

What was wrong?
The well caps had fallen off completely, not just leaking.
This afternoon I am doing the selector shaft seal on the white 69 Charger. What a hassle dealing with the headers and 3 inch exhaust. Good thing I don't have catcher mitt hands.
This a fresh rebuild this spring. The trans shop messed up the seal bad and told customer its a new seal and he wasn't going to repair it, the shop also left the kick down arm loose and just sitting on the shaft. You can see in first pic.. Really sucks as I sent my client to the guy. I done with the lying C.

Good work and don’t beat yourself up for recommending that shop. THEY ARE THE ones who failed!
I assume the ATF wasn't re-cycled? Do you know how expensive ATF+4 is? I bought a jug at PartSource (aka Canada tire) - $75 - I had my pan off to get it power coated, put in new filter and gasket and that shaft seal (and the other rubber seal above it). I had the trans out so I could pull the seal out from the top. I assume you couldn't do that - not enough room or access ?
I got it done, just need to let pan gasket set up before torque, then its on to the header melted power cable to starter. Who does this crap. uuugghhh
What ATF are you using? Just curious.
ATF+4 or DEX/MERC
Swapped out rear bumper on the S23 and front valance.
