Question 68 2 Speed Auto rebuild kit?

My transmission is jumping quite a bit and I think since its numbers matching I'm just going to go the rebuild route.

Where is the best place to get parts for a 1968 2 speed automatic powerglide transmission rebuild kit? I tried googling around but figured you guys were the best resources :-)

Check out http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/me...General-Motors

I've seen a couple posts on here that referenced this website, i'm thinking of rebuilding my TH-350 in my cutlass and might be buying a kit from here.

Any other opinions on Bulkpart.com?

Cheers,

Tony

First of all, your trans is NOT a Powerglide. It's a Super Turbine 300. Olds never used the Powerglide trans. The two have nothing in common other than being two speed automatics. You can get parts from Fatsco:

What would I do without you guys.... Thanks for the information. I'm trying to remember where I first heard powerglide when I was doing all this.

What is the easiest way to check which transmission I have in there. Where is the casting number? I might as well see if it is numbers matching as described.

Are you going to rebuild this transmission yourself? If not let the transmission shop find the parts, they probably won't guaranty the rebuild with carry it parts.
