Fixing my K5 impulse buy

[Alan2smiley]

1/8" korlath shim cut out and silicone to the back keep the switch from moving.

There ya go, making it logical and easy to reach!

Yeah instead of cutting a hole in the main part of the dash, this piece is easily replaced.

 

[Alan2smiley]

Big parts, big cardboard= big fire.

Pre clamp.

 

[Alan2smiley]

Probably to early to tell but seems to fit better than the one I used on the white truck.

I thought a lubelocker would stop the 700r4 from leaking but I was wrong, it did come with a sticker so worth every penny. Next plan is this gasket and a new pan, only problem is this gasket didn't come with a sticker.

Keep updating on the pan gasket situation as I need to redo mine at some point and wanted a good rubber gasket but haven't looking int it yet.

I really dislike the smell of ATF and the way it soaks into the Crete. This pan should be here in a couple days. Assault racing would be a cool sticker.

 

[Alan2smiley]

Yeah it still leaks, I'm thinking the kick down cable.

I tried putting the original material back on but it didn't look good, local fabric store had nice material for 50% off = $15.

Just did mine on the Jimmy and found out the leak is from the dipstick tube.
I am working on that now

The new down shift cable seal for $1.29 dried up the passenger side. This is next.

 

[Alan2smiley]

The benefits of being a packrat. Glad I have a woods or jungle to hide the junk.

I'm finally pass the denial stage and accepting the fact that the slush box is toast. It will be a good feeling that the transmission is ready for a beating.

 

[folkenheath]

Lots of good progress Alan, looking good!

The new aluminum radiator appears to be .5" taller and the rubs the shroud on the bottom or did. Kinda hack but it wasn't worth a crap the way it was. The new transmission shifts like a champ and no leaks.
