On to maintenance. Changed the water pump because it was leaking, pressure hose to the power steering because it had a hole. Pulled the tranny and clutch, changed ths broken pilot bearing and worn throw out bearing. Rebuilt the reverse in my tranny after breaking the odd metal "washer" that was destroyed. Went ahead and changed the trans fluid after seeing it looked like like a mix of oil and atf after I believe it's never been done before. Actually a week long project, but damn is my baby running good again!

Cleared all the crap off it. Cleared all the crap out from under it. Cleared all the crap from around it. Dropped in a shop battery, charged it up. Added a quart of oil. STARTED IT UP! Tried to back it out of the garage. Backed it out after adding two quarts of trans fluid. Screamed it a few hundred feet down the street. Feels good!
Put it away![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
This in preparation to pull it out on Saturday so my contractor can replace the rotted garage door lintel beam.

More maintenance. Replaced the radiator after it started to crack. Caught a bad case of the flat tire, pulled it to repair the tire and found a damn razor blade stuck in the tire. All is well again and got her running smooth again.

Tried to install my tubular K-member, but found out the lower a-arm bolts are stuck in there good, so I spent the money for my new cam setup to buy adjustable upper and lower a-arms.
