I'm going to use the offseason to rebuild my velvet drive (straight with 1.52:1 reduction). It's working fine but spins at a pretty good clip when in neutral. I've been throwing it into reverse for a second all season while the lines were being untied because it would creep forward. Pretty sure I caused this issue by overheating the clutches. Some of you might remember my post when I changed the trans oil cooler lines, didn't tighten the lower one, fluid leak, false reading, blah blah. I checked the linkage today just on the off chance I was staying slightly in gear but it was dead on.
I already started prepping it today and figuring out what I should order. Am I crazy not to replace the damper while it's out? Obviously no noise so this would be elective surgery. Rear main seal? Generally on cars I don't touch those unless they're leaking which is the same here.
Other than the kit with clutches and seals, is there anything else on the trans itself I should replace based on age?
Thanks
Bob
