    We suspected as much...

    We are not surprised to find that we are the first to drop the pan on this car. While the car was obviously cared for by the first owner, most non-car folks these days assume transmissions are 'sealed for life'.

    My pleasure.
    Since I've added a trans drain plug, I empty the pan every other oil change.
    I never intend to touch the filter again.
    Transmissions from the 50's and earlier only had large hole mesh screens

    Looks sweet. What tires do you have on it? And what size?

    We used Nitto NT555's, sized 235/50 and 295/45.

    The car runs and rides very well. Kristi may race it at the Southern Heavy event in Atlanta next weekend.

    I will be there running my Marauder over 750 1/4 miles runs and 13 years in a row going to this event.

    Hope to see you.

    It was great to see you, Russ. Your car is awesome.

    Kristi's Marauder made two passes, both in full street trim, a full tank of gas, and a passenger (me). It went 14.80 and 14.60. We were surprised and Kristi had a great time.
