John,

What an Excellent synopsis of my problems and situation! You've obviously
been following the thread carefully. Thank you! I haven't found one
character to disagree with in the whole presentation. And in view of the
specific details you listed, you've obviously done the R&R several times --
or have an excellent memory of a single time.

As I read through your comments about the input to the transmission, I
began to think about running out to the farm and getting one of my spare
transmissions (I think there are 4) to cannibalize for the input bushing
housing -- whatever that disc is called. But when you got to the
suggestion to get a complete replacement from Manny, I realized that you're
right. Whether I can get this one to him or not, considering today's
shipment costs, I need to call him tonight and tell him to send me the one
he's been offering all along. He, and I, don't think there's anything
wrong with it except a leaking accumulator, but I REALLY can't continue
this exercise -- at 75, it's no only no longer fun, it's a really obnoxious
chore. And it's subjecting too many helpful friends to the same labor --
and it's getting hotter'n'hotter here.

Similarly with the torque converter: Midwestern Performance Converters
doesn't think there's anything wrong with the one I've got, but I'm going
to call them tomorrow for a replacement.

From all external appearances, the 500 we pulled yesterday should be in
good shape internally, so I hope to be able to use the factory "fresh"
crank from it. Or perhaps the one I plan to pick up in Atlanta tomorrow
that Dave Mumert found for me.

Thanks for prodding me to make those needed decisions. I'll try to work
out some way to get the transmission back to Manny for analysis if he's
interested.

If all that doesn't cure the problem, I guess I'll just have accept Bob
deK's condemnation of Cadillacs. :-)
