peter lena 8,682 #4 Posted August 19 @RustyGold nice pick up ! would take advantage of what works and enhance / verify that area , would also get a penetrating oil soak down going on that paint , when wiped out dry should look perfect era patina , would also get that trans oil dropped , flushed out , like hi mileage ATF fluid , for crud cutting action and drive around ability , get some miles and time on that oil , use every gear / range , regularly check its condition for effect , new shift boot , greased on the bottom INSIDE , so it easily slides over the irregularities on top of trans , add a TYE WRAP ABOVE THE BOOT , so it stays in place , like a CLIMBING GEAR OIL , for better spraying / fling , regularly check my trans , always full / clean , good luck with it , pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
