I'm seriously considering doing my own rebuild of my automatic transmission ('57 GH). Looking through the Shop Manual rebuild instructions, the only thing that is intimidating is the use of the 'special tools'. Often times these are not really necessary, just make the job simpler and faster. But wondering from those of you that have overhauled Flight-o-matics, are there any of these I really need to look hard for, either to borrow or buy? And suggestions where to look? I think it would be really fun (I do pocketwatch restorations, so don't mind tiny parts and precision/cleanliness requirements) and have always wanted to do a tranny, but don't want to get stuck with something that just can't be done, or done correctly, without the proper tools.
thanks!
thanks!
