UPDATE: Towing an automatic

[raysinvegas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

OK, Rick(prostreetamx) and I got the 64 440H home from Escondido(Thanks Rick!). I dropped in a battery, hooked up an electric fuel pump and she started right up. In spite of towing on a dolly at speeds up to 85mph for 5 hours, she took off in D2 very nicely. I'm going to say that the towing did no damage! However, there are a few issues that I need help with. First, there is no motion in reverse at all. I don't think this is related to the tow. Could this just be a band adjustment? Linkage?  Second, there is a noise in the bottom end. I can feel something hitting the inside of the pan and there is a small hole caused by the friction of whatever is flopping around in there. I am confused because the engine seems to run very smooth and does not smoke. The oil is also clean.  If this 196 is ready to puke and die, wouldn't it run poorly?
   Overall, for $400, I think I did fine. I drove it around the block a few times and it seems pretty tight, no squeaks or rattles and it rolls straight. Any help with these issues will be greatly appreciated!
