Well......another couple of set backs!! I took the car out for its' first bit of running up and down the street, and found I could not find second gear! It seems an acquaintance, who is heavy into Mopars, and swore to his 'expertise' in rebuilding transmissions, didn't do a very good job. It seems the synchronizer assemblies on both 1-2 and even 3-4 gears should have been replaced with new assemblies. That's problem no. 1! Take the trans. back out which leads to problem no.2, my jack slipped and I managed to put a good sized dent in the oil pan, which means it will have to be taken off to correct, either with straightening or replacement. Try as I might, being attentive to every detail, there always seems to be something that makes these kind of projects a headache. But I'm sure when I'm cruising down the highway listening to 'oldies' on the AM radio, the problems will bring a chuckle! Ben.
