I've kinda taken a liking to that Jets team.........t hey may do some damage. Paul is a good coach and I think can really relate well with the players with his younger age. Only thing that concerns me about teams like Ottawa and the Jets is they may have used up too much energy and emotion just to get in the playoffs. Going 4 rounds is a war at that level

Good info guys 


Rich, did you just press in the new stator and go? Or did you have to "square" it?

I've got 255/60 MT DR's for the T and they work great plus the fit is nice. I run Hoosier QT Pros on the GS. 1.64 60ft off the foot brake

I was only considering hot tanking the case for function and making sure the circuits of the VB were free of old debris ect...
If a few cans of brake clean and compressed air will do, then I'm good.

If it's not necessary to remove I won't bother. I got the 3-4 accumulator piston out, just a little tap got it moving.


Rich did you get your case hot tanked?

I got 3 ckeck balls out of the VB itself and 8 out of the case. I guess there's one deep in the case that's in a capsule Does that one need to come out?

Ok Rich thanks for your help.
I've removed the LU solenoid and wiring, 1-2 accumulator housing, piston and spring. Removed governor, VB and check balls (11) Not sure if 11 is what I should have but that's all I see for now. Haven't removed the center support bolts or the servo yet. Starting to get a little overwhelmed with the VB check balls and their location. I took pics but kinda hard to see where they were as some were still submerged in fluid.


Anyway all looks ok so far no missing parts or bolts, and the accumulator springs are in good shape. The plate had very little wear on it, can barley catch a finger nail on the worn area. Only issue so far is the 3-4 accumulator piston in the case seems like it's seized in there as it doesn't seem to want to depart from home.

OK I see, thanks Rich. I'm pretty green but not retarded, but don't ask my wife.    So I'll be taking this real slow.

Cool Brad, thanks. I bought my line pressure gauge from them. They were decent and made it up for me on the spot.

I think I'm going to give it a shot Rich. I picked up a BRF from a good guy up here. It needs a rebuild for sure, but it's a good stock BRF core. Just pulled the pan this morning and checking what I can visually. Looks ok, BR3 painted on the VB 694 servo ect. Would like to build this to a good comp trans. I have Chris's billet servo, and his competition shift kit. I picked up his rebuild manual last year thinking I may do this. Do you think I can can get by with just his manual? Haven't decided on LU or NLU yet but probably go NLU. No other hard parts yet.
I have lots of tools but I don't have the "specialty" tools you mention, so I'll either buy or borrow in times of need. One thing I did notice this morning is when I try to turn the pump stator spline with the trans on the engine stand it won't budge, but the smaller input shaft will turn freely. Is this normal do you know? I would have thought it would turn freely as well. Hope I'm calling these parts by their correct name 


Oh, and thanks for the link to Jake
