I've checked all the local stores...autozone,napa,advance auto,etc.  Nobody has one.  I was hoping somebody might know another way to compress the clutch springs without causing any damage?  I would be willing to make whatever i need to as long as it doees'nt end up costing me more that the actual tool itself.

Does anyone know where I can get a clutch spring compressor for real cheap or to rent would be great.  I'm about to rebuild a 700r4 and don't feel like paying $100 for a one time tool.  I would love to hear any other tools or tricks that would work.

thanks guys

I am new here and was hoping someone could answer my transmission question.  I have an 86 chevy 1/2 ton 4x4.  everything was running fine until I sttopped in a parking lot in my neighborhood to talk to a friend.  When I got out of the truck I heard what I thought was water pouring from my radiator but it was transmission fluid...A LOT OF IT.  Needless to say I had it towed home and removed the bellhousing and when I start the engine the fluid runs out between the tourque conv. and the tranny.  I don't know much about transmissions and was hoping to get a few tips or ideas before I started to remove the tranny and get it rebuilt or put new seals in myself.  thanks for any help..
