Yes, I am old! This is my first automatic transmission, due to the fact that I have an injery to my knee and some times when the pain is too bad, I will be in deep kimchee to push the clutch.

And I really do not think dealer is going to do this, unless you own the dealership.

If you really like to have the 68 auto trany, then sell yours and get one with.
None of the gurus I know recommend doing so!
You will end up paying heck of lot more than what you might have in mind.
