Usually, if the filter is plugged up with crud it runs good till it gets warm and then slips. Sounds like a seal problem. Hope you have a warm garage to swap or fix it.
If you've dropped an auto tranny from anything else, it's pretty well the same.
Drive shaft, torque converter bolt's, fluid lines, speedo cable, shift linkage, detent cable, modulator hose, starter, tranny mount and cross member, and last, bell housing bolt's. Don't forget to remove the dist. cap as it can hit the firewall and damage the cap or dist.
Ive done a few, but mostly in awd or fwd cars. this seems easier.
im gonna drain the tranny and hopefully get that lucas stop leak junk out, then do the filter, and fill it back up. (5 quarts, is that correct? ive heard people say 4 and some say 12?)
Throw a can of "Trans Medic" in it, or a like product. Something "thin" that permiates the seals to soften and expand them, not a stop leak product. Sounds like a space heater under the trans might help some initially. Honestly, it's never worked for me, but my sisters old 68 Camaro, and several friends, have had good results doing this. I just put a TH400 in my truck, I've had it long enough it's gone through 3 TH350 trans. Put a TH400 in your truck, and never look back. I just bought another TH400 yesterday, to use for a future project; complete and rebuilt, with very low miles; the truck it was in got totalled. $150.00 with converter, yoke and driveshaft, cooler with braided lines!

pulling the truck into my garage last night, and she blew and pissed fluid everywhere,
wondering if a th350c will bolt up?
or if its even a good idea for my truck, basically stock besides headers and intake
found one in good shape for $350
thanks.

Look for a 6 inch or a 9 inch tail housing measurement from where the tail housing bolts to the main case of the trans... these are the two most common lengths

The tailstock doesn't matter. Its just that the output shaft inside the tailshaft has to match as well.
You would have to take apart the whole tranny to swap them.
Pics below show the same tranny with a 9" and then a guy asked me for a 6" so I swapped them out.
Tranny from a 78 'vette,
B&M shift Kit installed, running great!
The guy that had the truck before me sure did a sloppy job installing the previous tranny,
2 out of the 6 main bolts were nonexistent, many of the bolts could be loosened by finger. kickdown cable nonexistent.
i love working on vehicles but i sure hate having to correct other peoples mistakes
Old tranny
New tranny
the only thing thats still giving me trouble is that the dipstick tube doesnt have an o-ring, so when the tranny fluid settles it leaks out.
well i must say going from an awd turbo to a rwd monster is definitely strange, especially in winter. i dont really feel safe when doing highway speeds on ice like i used to in my talon.
