Gear Box Service

[Transporter]

Hello!

In a few weeks im goin to take my 1972 charger to a friend mechanic, and ask him to do a complet service on my automatic gear box, probably change fluids and a whole new kit to install to leave it like new 

Any suggestions or pointers you would like to give me?

Im guessing servicing a 40 yeard old gear box cant be the same as doing it to the new ones.

Thanks.

I'm sure Transporter means gear box as in transmission(tranny) not steering gear box.

Never mind.  Coffee time.

new ones don't need servicing

just don't use that cork crap gaskets. use the plastic/rubber ones the 48re uses. get a new deep cast pan with a drain plug. use ATF4.

You say "complete service" but then say "a whole new kit to install". Do you intend to just have it serviced or removed/overhauled or a shift kit?

I wouldn't put ATF+4 in a used '72, Dexron/Mercon or type F would be better.
