Hi All,

I was wondering if it possible to resurface the o.d. on a direct drum. The reason I'm asking is I'm pretty sure my intermediate band is shot (metal on metal). And being that I will be rebuilding my 5R55W tranny next week (& servo fix) I figured I get a little advice first. So, my two options would be (assuming the o.d. is in bad condition) to replace or resurface. Or would it be OK to reuse a slightly abused direct drum. Any help would be appreciated.

Thx,

K
 






If there is surface damage, I'd replace it.
 






Thanks Glacier - I figured - but my thinking was kinda like rotors on a brake system. New pads (bands in this case) - turn down the rotors (direct drum) & re-install. FYI: I went the safer route - I just ordered a new one from the guys at 800700tran for $10 - can't beat that!
