Hey guys
I’m working on a 73 2.0 which has been sitting for approximately 27-28 years. I’m going down the “to do list” and am now at the transmission; here she is. When I picked it up there was a bit of trans fluid on the floor also. I was thinking about changing fluid and trying to start and drive it but thinking it may be a wasted of time. What are your thoughts and should I send out trans for new seals/gaskets?   |

That car has been sitting for a long time. It looks really good, but it's going to need some things gone through. If it is safely drivable you could put some fresh trans fluid in it and try running it through the gears. It's not too bad to pull just the trans at some point in the future and do that. So many old hard seals on both engine and trans. Old brakes/fuel lines. Slippery slope, but worthwhile. They are threads on the site where people have been in the exact same situation as you.
