My 78 wagon is burning trans fluid with in 40 miles driving i want to swap to a manual trans. Is it worth the effort and is there anywhere that a kit is available?

going from a auto to a manual is usually tougher than a manual to an auto that fluid has to be going somewhere is it the tail seal or maybee the dipstick grommet -
The 727 auto is one of the cheapest to have rebuilt (assuming its not just a seal that you can do yourself). Especially if you remove it yourself & take it to a transmission shop. Of course this is a much tougher chore on a 4x4.
Best bet on a manual tranny is to buy a whole donor truck. There's alot of little pieces to round up to make the swap. I hope you have a small block. Big block bellhousings are harder/pricier to find.

Well I just happen to have a big block truck. The trans is not having any problems the fluid level stays good but I can change it and drive a little way and check it and it is darker color and smells burnt.Comment
