We Have a Transmission



With much help from my friend Greg, the Grand Prix's transmission and assorted other parts has made it home from Boston. Much thanks is extended to the seller and his friend who had rebuilt the transmission for me.  Purchased over 3 years ago, logistics, kids, and time made actually getting the thing more complicated than I ever expected.  The fly wheel will have to be surfaced. The shifter will have to be rehabilitated.  (It has a reverse lock-out which is interesting, and apparently discontinued by Pontiac for the 1964 model year)  I've already painted the transmission and bell housing.  The Z-Bar and Pedals need to be spruced up.  The console has requires a good cleaning. But, hey, it's FINALLY here.
