For me to bother to go to junkyard for this part , i would have to drop the pan on the junkyard car . So then if i went that far , it would just make sense to get a used transmission from the junkyard . Al this for a car with 166,000 miles on it . So looks like this caprice will be getting sold for parts or going to the scrap bin of history . Sucks because the 305 is still strong in it .

I would go to a tranny shop show them the broken piece see what they say. my impeller repair total cost was less than $100......... that was about 35 yrs ago ...
