Ok heres waht i have its a 76 jimmy with a 400 SBC and a th400 tranny.. well the tranny went out of it a little over a year ago and its just been sitting... well we have decided to sell it and im wondering how hard it will be to fix and how expensive it will be to fix the tranny. it has lost D and L2, but L1 and Reverse still work... but it sounds like sucking and sloshing fluid when you drive it.. some one once told my dad that the lower reverse clutch or something like that is out of it? does this sound right. i haven't taken the pan off it yet.. if i decide to fix it will i most likey have to drop the whole tranny or could i get to it by just taking the pan off.. any help would be greatly appricated

Thanks

Jon

oh, if youdon't know where the governor gear is located, it is on the passenger side under the square cover with the round raised center section and held on by 4 bolts. undo this pull out the governor and see if the gear on the end is worn out or not. it cost me 85 cents for a new gear and pin. use a hamer and nail or correct size punch to remove the old pin and install the new one.

Yeah, that sounds like a TH350, as to if it will fit - I can't say. I'm not familiar with the different tailshafts (length) that could have come in it. Aside for the tailshaft length the trans should fit.
