1968 and discovering sins of the past

that's it except mine has a cadmium or bright silver cap the dead nuts appears to be black. suggestions on good rebuilders?

opened it up today and it is rusted and empty... I assumed the rear would be since im working on that section of the car. Looks really bad in the cylinder. So what are you guys doing in these cases to keep original? I assume this one is the original but I will need to confirm. Thanks once again! -John

thanks i added the fluid last...

other than another shaft any tricks for sealing the output shaft while doing the install?

thanks guys just what i needed to know

that being said thoughts on installing with the chrome shifter in place or attatch from the top after the tranny installed?

1968- thanks CS

My car had both the shifter and lower boots torn when i removed the transmission from the car. (4 speed). I simply unbolted the chrome shifter and dropped everything out below. Now that I am putting it all back and looking at the new boots i realize i probably need to approach this in a specific sequence. I checked many sources and havent seen anything giving insight into best practices for reinstalling.  So... a few questions i have are:
1. Do i need to pull the center console?
2. I assume the lower boot goes on first?
3. I see screw holes on both boots are those screws under the consule and the upper boot "pops" through?

The connection to the bell housing etc. i am set with it, its just the shifter/boot situation that has me puzzled. Any help would be appreciated. -John

excellent thanks all ill need capped ends then.

Thanks all

thanks Cascade that is one of the few parts I have. TLea what are the differences in the two tube types you reference? Thanks all...

Car is NOT AC.

does this capability need to be granted to me or do i need  to turn that feature on? I have no ability to attach and that option isn't below my reply box. Thanks

great that's what I hoped for... thanks
