I have a GM automatic 350 turbo glide transmission that has been sitting for about 6 years. I got it with the engine I bought sbc 350. I dumped a bunch of money into the engine in a rebuild/upgrade and want to possibly install this into my 62 Impala. What are the chances of this tranny being any good? The matching engine only had about 60k for mileage. I‘m tapped out on funds for a bit and wondering if this is worth installing without a rebuild. Of coarse I would do a fluid and filter change.
I agree with Gary. Easy enough to try. Only way to find out.
Only one way to find out, install and try not a major job to do, so worth a try. If converter has two drain plugs drain as well.
If the transmission was working when it was removed, it should work fine now. The rubber tail shaft seal and front pump seal should be replaced before you install the transmission. Sitting for long periods with no use will cause rubber seals to crack and dry out. Both seals are easy to replace with the transmission out of the vehicle. Good luck.
