Does Harbor Freight have some sort of assembly table with drains?

Make a table out of plywood, cover it with sheet metal, put some rain gutters
around the sides.

I have seen them pop up for sale from time to time but never snagged
one. Last time I saw one it sold almost as soon as it was posted.

What, you don’t have one?
And yes, you’re right - that thing they use to put the body’s head on would be
perfect for the tailshaft housing to rest on.

An embalming table would be perfect for this.

Rebuilding automatic transmissions is far from rocket science. In fact, it's
pretty simple for the most part. Make sure you have a place to work that’s
clean, an area to disassemble that can get oily/dirty, and some high quality
snap ring pliers and you should be good. I’m sure the more modern/electronic
they get the more difficult it will be, but something like a 722.x can’t be
that difficult.

I watched a couple of vids about rebuilding 722.6s and 722.9s. They are
actually quite easy to rebuild, you just have to keep track of the bits and
keep everything really clean. Stuff just comes apart like a 3D puzzle and the
vids show it very clearly. I think there are manuals for it too, I might have
downloaded one. The rebuild kits are like $300, just some clutches and such.
On 722.9s the pump can go bad and you need a new front housing of the unit that
the pump works in but a junkyard unit would probably be OK.
The hard part is getting it out of the car without pulling the engine, I don't
know how hard that would be in a R230 but it is probably pretty tight to get at
all the bolts. A lift and trans jack would help a lot.

I would bet that a new/rebuilt transmission would cost a lot more than "2-3
grand".

This tempts... I believe this is a 722.6 which should be pretty
stout so
not sure what the problem could be unless it was run low on fluid and
abused which is entirely possible. Rebuilds are not difficult once
it is
out of the car. Looks like a lot of work on it. This engine is
actually
pretty reliable too. My rational brain says RUN AWAYYYYY but my
passions
say... laws hep me!
Twin Turbo 12 cylinder. Renntech Modified, can be returned to
stock with
device. Absolute thrill of a car. Many services done including ABC
struts, motor mounts, convertible roof, etc. I purchased recently
from a
coworker and the transmission started slipping. Runs and drives
but most
likely will need replacement down the road unless it is a
transmission
solenoid/conductor plate or sensor issue. I have performed a fluid
change and filter replacement but did not help. I don’t have the
funds
at the minute to dish out a 2-3 thousand for a transmission
rebuild/replacement. May slightly negotiate in person. If you ask
me “is
it available” I will ignore you. If it’s up, it is available. No
trades.
