Well, a 77 chevy is out of my experience trail, so I don't know what
tranny is in it. I assume we're talking an automatic though, in which
case I suspect its about 200,000 miles/30 years overdue for an change of
its atf, or whatever chevy calls its auto tranny oil. And it could be so
gummed up its going to have to have the pan pulled, the valve body
removed and washed up in acetone and/or MEK to remove 30 years of
accumulated varnish from overheated oil residue. This "varnish" is whats
making the valves hang when its cold. At that point, you might as well
go ahead and toss it on the bench and put a seal, clutch, bushings and
band kit in it. And go see if MicroTest is still making the hotrod shift
kits for it, they're quite cheap in most cases and work wonders at
controlling the shift points a lot better. The only case of all bets off
is if its the infamous 'slim jim' transmission, it is a headache from the
gitgo if its ever been stuck in the snow or mud. But that 77 is a wee
bit new to have that old headache in it I think.
And yes, we are waaaay (grin) the hell and gone off topic...
