I've
seen a lot of M211s with trans problems.<<

Steve is correct, but anything that sits long enough will fall apart. Som=
e
of the possible problems and malfunctions of the 302M transmission are...=

Broken or worn bands; bad or worn clutch disks; bad, broken, or worn torq=
ue
converter; bad hydraulic pumps; and/or bad, broken or worn hard parts.
Again, these are just some of the problems.
One of the major problem with anything that sits, is water. Even in seale=
d
transmissions, transfers, differentials, engines, etc, etc., condensation=

collects and causes rust inside the cases. Usage stirs up the water and
with
regular oil changes, the water is disposed.<

-- Interesting, is the normal course of action just to swap out the
transmission or have you heard of people rebuilding those tranny's? I've=

rebuilt a couple of turbo 350s and 400s, but as you mentioned they didn't=

have the problem of sitting for years before they were repaired.
