Re: [AMC-list] Marlin and Rambler questions

Check with Peter Stathes (www.amcrambler.com) or Galvin's (www.ramblerparts.com) for the rubber. 

I had the exact same problem with a M-35 auto trans many years ago (my first M-35!). Turned out to be a stopped up valve body. You can pull the valve body out by just removing the pan, but be careful! There are 3-4 spring and ball (about the size of a BB) valves that can fall out. Don't lose one, and know where it goes back in! If you don't have a TSM I'll scan the valve body page for you. Once out soak it good in cleaner, blow out all passages, and stick it back in. The gaskets should be okay. Use a product called "Right Stuff" on the pan, no need for a gasket. The pressurized cans cost more but leave a really nice even bead. Of course clean the screens while you're in there and make sure all the tubes are in the right place when you put the valve body back in. 

The valve body on mine ended up being replaced because the shop couldn't find whatever was stopping it up, or they said that maybe a passage was worn through somewhere. The only thing you can do is clean and blow out yours and try it. If that doesn't work someone may have an extra valve body for you. I might... will have to look through my stash...

Haven't been active in a while. Trying to find a job-no luck for over a year.  Anyway, got the Marlin out of storage and it hasn't been on the road since 2007, runs better than ever!!! I do need to know where I can get window gasket (rubber) between the front window and the rear window. It is in need of replacing. Also my 64 Rambler last fall only had reverse and low gear.It is an automatic 232. Any cheap fixes? I can't afford a rebuild,rebuilt.  As always any help is appreciated.
