    I have a th 350 that I plan on putting in my car but it looks like it will be about a year before it will be hooked up and running. Is there any thing I need to do to it to keep it in good shape for the time being. Thank in advance...............Gary

    If it is a fresh rebuild I would put some oil in it and periodically turn it upside down to keep oil in the clutches. I have had some trouble with trany's that I have rebuilt for people that stored them for an extended period that had the clutches flake on them.

    If it is a used one don't worry about it.

    Thanks Mike it is used (about 90,000 mi) and it still has fluid in it. I do have it wraped up in a tarp and under my carport so i guess thats all ok.
