What to do with this old transmission?
Okay after selling the engine out of the 72 250 I'm left with a partially cooked transmission. Should I disect it out of curiosity or could I actually repair this thing?

You could donate it too your local rebuilder (IF he needs or wants it).
I have a good one sitting in my garage that I don't know what to do with, so I dunno...

You need a bunch of pullers and other specialty tools just to get it apart, to say nothing of back together. I would go with Ed's suggestion and donate it to a local shop for a future favor.

It is from a 68 250s, so it fits the back of a M180.
$200+shipping. It looks to have been rebuilt recently because it is free of any grease or accumulation compared to the engine, not even a film of oil on it. But I can't vouch for it. I pulled it for my car, but found out the bearing noise was the rear end.

K4A.025 this is the one i'm looking for) or more like 1082701 00026 ? Better yet, do you have a pic of it? In any case, i'll have to wait till summer to see if i can fix it or buy one. But i'm starting my search now in case i do need one, so any information would be welcome. Thanks DAN

You are correct, it is a M108.
It is just that I have only seen references to the M180 engine in literature...I am confused... The engine says 108. Sorry.

No problem 240 ed
If it is a K4A.025 i'm very much interested in it. Do's it include the torque converter and the kickdown silenoid switch on top of it? Again, if you happen to have the serial #, it would be greatly apreciated. Here are pics from the CD. thanks DAN

those are great pictures BTW...
Yes, it is one and the same. 16 bolt pan, etc. And yeah, it doesn't have the name of the trans on it, but it says 230 sl on the plate. It has the solenoid, but I left the fluid drive in the junkyard.

But I can't vouch for it. DAN

The difference that I can discern between the fluid drive coupler and a true torque converter, is that the engine remains directly hooked to the gearbox at all times other than at a stop. The next time you drive a torque converter, notice this; When you let off the gas before coming to a stop sign (lets say...) The engine speed will drop down and the car will sort of coast more... It is a small distinction, but there it is. ![]() and yeah, I can hold onto it for now. I don't have a SO to bug me about keeping crap around. ![]()
