PLenty of questions today... this is for a 61 Newport with a 361 speed automatic.. 1. The ring gear and torque converter have been removed as one piece. Do they come apart? How? They are either connected through some unseen method, or just rusted together. 2. Where can I get a new ring gear? Mine isn't looking too good, and I'd hate to put it all back together to have to turn the engine by hand occasionally until the starter found a place on the gear it liked. 3. Has anyone had a steering column rebuilt recently and been happy with the results? I seem to have an excessive amount of play and an overall "loosey-goosey" feeling to the wheel. I can turn it about 30 degrees before anything happens. Where should i get it rebuilt? Thats about it for now-lots of work has been getting done as of late... Thanks for any and all help you can offer... ~dave '61 Newport '67 Kaiser M-715 '91 Toyota Pickup www.wpi.edu/~dcg -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Need an answer fast?
