Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

This trans stuff shows the difference between a guy on his umpteenth build and someone like me on his first.

Buying a "bolt on" high performance automatic for my Mustang was the one thing I regret the most. The transbrake solenoid wouldn't fit because the case was the wrong year and it popped a gasket once I got it in a correct one and bolted to my SFI bell housing. Now that I have machined the face of the housing flat, gone to a thicker gasket, replaced the trans pan and machined it down to clear the housing all works fine. And I replaced the foreword shift solenoid and piston, too. Nice big chip in it.

I'll worry about gears and modding out the pump next year. One thing at a time.
