I didnt want my Chevy Tech's touching it. I actually took it to the trans shop across the street from the Dealership that we work with, they do Lincolns and Fords all the time, He said there are a couple new TSB's and updates on The Marks' valve body and TC. They are gonna rebuild the entire Trans.

Well it sounds like they know what they are doing. If you want to get this thing done right, I suggest the force-lube mod. It runs a pressurized line to the tail shaft bushing. Its not an "easy" mod, but its straight forward...... again, I have no link. I lost all my bookmarks.... BRB...

You don't mention the year of your car, but if it's not a 98 then you have the older style one way clutch, I believe. That is one of the main problems with the older trans. I don't know if they replace it when they reduild but I would defintely look into that.

get the mechanical diode if not a 98 or just get another trans,no point in doing all the other crap if you dont upgrade that part.
