67johnny Sep 25th, 02, 1:09 AM Had a 400 built 8 years ago and it is finally time to blow the dust off and install it in the chevelle! Should I be concerned that it has sat for this long? It was in a sealed dry ,warm storage place! Thanks! John D Sep 25th, 02, 6:22 PM The only concern I'd have is that any fluid used during assembly is long dripped down into the pan. Everything is gonna be dry. Anyone know of a way to "pre-lube" a tranny? Ted6555 Sep 25th, 02, 8:21 PM I just put one in that sat 2yrs. i pulled the pan, and poured fluid oxer everything. It works fine 67johnny Sep 26th, 02, 10:32 PM How about pumping some fluid through the lines to prelube? a36chevy Sep 26th, 02, 10:41 PM Mine sat outside for 9yrs in a car. topped off the atf, ran it to work, changed fluid and filter and it still works like new. If yours is dry,converter also, start with 6qts atf and do a normal fill like after a service. 67johnny Sep 27th, 02, 2:11 AM This one has never been installed! I was thinking that the seals may go hard? transfixleo Sep 27th, 02, 6:52 AM No problem as long as they used modern, quality seals. Now moisture getting into bearings, etc... ------------------ For direct questions e-mail with subject: tranny problem [This message has been edited by transfixleo (edited 09-27-2002).] 67johnny Sep 27th, 02, 7:34 PM Transfixleo-if you were going to pull the pan(I want to use a neoprene gasket and a B+M pan) where would the best place to look for a moisture contamination problem be found?
