I have a guy here in Alabama who wrote the book on Hydramatics - he has been rebuilding them since 1952 when they first came out and can build one with his eyes closed. I had two rebuilt already by him, and having my 3rd done this week. if your trans has sat a long time it may need a rebuild - Malcolm Cannon is his name, and he is 18 hrs North West of you. Let me know if you end up needing his help....email me at [email protected]
Good luck, Steve
