Awesome! Thanks!!

Any word on good or bad rebuild kits? I found this one for a pretty good price on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...akeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I found one place that lists the band survo covers, then in the discript is says intermediate survo. In any which case is this the part he is referring to? http://transpartsdirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=89124 Is this Transpartsdirect.com a good place to get parts or does anyone have any other recomendations?

Got the tranny torn down tonight. Sure enough it was the front one way clutch. Hope to have a new one in a couple days and with any luck get the tranny back together over the weekend.

Got my tranny all back together last night minus a new filter. I'll pick it up in the next day or two. I think I'm going to try to get it in on Monday and hope to God I did it all correctly! LOL! I'll keep y'all posted.

BTW the front cluctch wasn't all destroyed or anything, it had just flipped over so it wouldn't hold in either direction. Also because of it failing and the coast clutch being what was driving it and it's not really made to handle that load the coast clutch was fried so I had to get new steel plates for it too because they were all blued and warped from the heat.
