hiya all,

latest installment from the UK :-)

The 59 Galaxie is up and running and driving and stopping. She is currently up on the ramps having the rockers replaced as the originals were rusted right through.

One thing I have noticed is that the trans is losing a lot of fluid. I have had a quick look under there and cleaned it up, but I can't see a leak until I run it (and pressurise the trans).

I have a couple of questions.

1/ what type of trans is in? it's a two speed auto behind a 292 Y-block, am I right in thinking it's called a cruise-o-matic?

2/ is there a repair/overhaul kit available for this tranmission and if so, who is the best supplier?

Thanks, Taff

Cheers, Taff
