Getting the gearbox ready for its service. As it has been 'recently' refurbished, I don't plan on draining the diffs - the oil in them is nice and clean. However, if I flip it over to do the sump and filter all the oil will dribble out of the vents. That is solved with some 3d printed polyurethane bungs



The torque converter was rebuilt by JP Automatics in Bristol, which is a good sign



After sitting in Evaporust overnight, the power steering pump relinquished the pulley with a little help from the bearing puller and the mapp torch



The hub cleaned up nicely



A little corrosion on the pulley is easily dealt with



Engine and gearbox ready for shenanigans
