Stuck in the process of taking out an Auto-Transmission from a 1969 Cadillac Eldorado?

For a 69 Cadillac, you're probably looking at one of two different trans missions.. either a t 350 or a T 400.. either one is fairly easy to rebuild, but without all the proper tools for adjusting the internals ( in/lb torque wrenchs is a must) it can be cheaper to just buy a rebuilt one from either a trans shop or parts house.. neither should run over a grand, and even at a grand its not a bad price when you figure the valve body, clutches and steels, and all internal seals are new, which is over half the price just in parts alone. Don't let the cadillac name fool ya..it didn't make a big difference back then, it's just a heavy duty transmission to deal with the car weight.
