I've been lurking like mad on this forum and have found it to be an incredible resource, thank you to all of you who have posted technical info.
I am currently rebuilding a case fill C4 from a '67 Mustang (I think) to put in my '67 Galaxy. I am stuck on two counts:
1. I can't find anything to compress the clutch spring so I can get the snap ring on. The Haynes manual shows a couple of C-clamps but none of the 10 clamps I own worked for me. Is there an easy way to do this outside of the $180 spring compressors I've seen online?
2. I have replaced all of the bushings except the one in the pump using care and sockets. Would it be easier for me to take this to a transmission shop and have them press it in?
That said, should I just take these parts to a shop? Does anybody know of a good transmission shop in the OC where I could get these two items taken care of or could any shop do it for me?
