Tech Tip
Here is a tech tip for some on deep water and automatic transmissions.
Don't do it! Had mine rebuilt even though it shifted and worked most of the time except on steep hills it would go neutral and would have completely given up eventually. I flushed it 4 times! Headed to haspin last weekend to give it a trial run before the next big trip and could not save it. :(

Thats exactly how my Jeep got a v-8. Toasted the tranny at Haspin (ATF will eat through a styrophoam cooler). Had a T-18 sitting in the garage and the rest just happened.
