Rebuilding an automatic tranny

[Crosley.In.AZ]

So , lets say you are a DIY/ hands on type person.  Yer gonna rebuild your own 700 GM trany.

Look at this photo of a pair of used output shafts for a 700 tranny.  I just replaced one of these shafts since one shaft was near failure ( it would break).

Which shaft is near failure?  Would you have seen this?

just a pop quiz for the heck of it.

Is this a trick question? I have to agree with the twisted look but I fave seen oil holes at an angle (but I don't know where) that have a certain scavaging/pressuring effect due to rotation, But there is a stress wrinkle at the top of that oil hole. Ththought you didn't have rust in Arizona? There are definite traces of rust on the top shaft. There is rust on the teeth of the top gear and there is a funny stain around the oil hole to the right of the gear. Is that shaft out of the hurricane Katrina victim? GPster

we buy cores from  east area of the country. Usually less money than out here since cars actually last waaaay longer in a dry climate.

China is driving tranny core prices up  THey buy the cores for metal scrap

I stopped by a buddy's salvage yard the other day, he has a lot of old stuff. The scrap dealers have offered him $150 a ton where it sets. He said no, at least so far.

Is that like the Asian metal rotors Ford had a few years ago?  The rotors were so soft the brake pads wore a groove in the rotor instead of vice versa!
