How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Today I took apart the top of the transmission. It was in dire need of some cleaning on the outside and at the base of the shifter. Some very very thick crudy grease. The inside looks great though. Everything came apart nicely. My only concern was that the reverse shifter yoke looks worn.

It’s part number 4.303 GM590515 Yoke reverse shifter.

The parts are all soaking in parts cleaner to help soften the hard grease.

Great work again, Jordan

Now the hard part what colour to paint it? From what I have read here on the forum they may have come Chevy grey, semi gloss black or even have been painted the final body colour of LG#3, SCC2 or SCC15

I also painted mine grey recently....and just like you I thought that would be great for spotting leaks, but I am now thinking about respraying it body colour...as that's what i think I am seeing on the factory pictures.
