I’m rebuilding my 1960 Dynaflow (Electra)…
I have an issue, both hydraulic pumps look very scored and I am not sure how to repair them.
A little background info :
- I have never dismantled or rebuilt a transmission in the past. So please consider me a true amateur.
- The dynaflow was slipping incredibly in drive (low and reverse seemed fine).
- The converter was very worn although oil was clean (I suspect it had some metal shards go through it in the past and was rebuilt without changing may parts – see picture).
Ok so both pumps are scored (see pics) …. I am not sure how bad it is or what I should do.
Can I save them ? and put them on fine sandpaper on a piece of glass and try to take out some of the scores (won’t get them all).
Will I have an issue with the gap between the pump and plate if it is too worn or if I sand it down too much ?
Finding new pumps seems impossible and would probably be costly.
What options do I have ?
Thanks for any ideas, help or uplifting comments to cheer this rebuild up ! Roland
ALL PARTS SHOWN NEED TO BE REPLACED. The MOST IMPORTANT part of the DynaFlow is the torque converter.Follow the book VERY CLOSELY as far as clearances & tolerances>
