That DIY monster trans rebuild thread is AWESOME. I keep refering back to it thinking...maybe, just maybe, I could rebuild my trans. Not to keen on the idea of taking the transmission in and out, in and out, in and out trying to get it right. Or worse, blowing the transmission up cause-I done - did it wrong.

I found a throttle modulator controled 722.118 for $150, but I passedn on it because mine is vacuum. Definatly having second thoughts about that now.

Thanks for the trans interchange link.

Do you have an idea of why the pump would go out, something inside binding (brake band)??? The pump seems like one of the simplest parts in the transmisson and mine failed while idling. I think it was on your thread that pointed out that the torque converter tabs were the weak part.

And lets say I might have towed my car 30miles at 50mph thinking the pump wasn't the problem. Do you know what damage I could have done?
