Help power glide folks

[El Rat]

Hi gents
I bought a “junk yard” PG that I wanted to put in my ride while I hopped up my existing Biscayne. Regardless I would like to have somebody tell me what the little seal is that was laying in the pan. It will slide into the dipstick register. Also what is the blue paint on the valve body and is there a spring on the kick down lever?
As always thank you!

I’m an idiot! Forgot the pics. See attached.

Looks like broken off end of the dipstick tube.

 

[El Rat]

Nope not that. It has an o ring on the inside of the sleeve.

Take the O ring off and take another picture.

 

[El Rat]

Ok

Is this a cast iron or aluminum powerglide? Do you know the year car it came out of? The aluminum powerglide was introduced in 1962, and all the cars had the aluminum powerglide starting in 1963. Not all powerglide transmissions were created equally, and modifications and improvements were made through the years.

That looks like the seal that goes around the selector shaft on the side of the trans to me.

That seal won't fit the dipstick hole like rat said, I'm still going for a broken off dipstick tube end.

What's a suction screen seal look like in those glides?

 

[Don Jacks]

Flat gasket Ron but who's to say that that's a P/G part.It looks very fresh,very clean.

I remember using a little tool to pull the shifter shaft seal, but I don't remember them being that thick. Could be though can we get a measurement on this thing and a side shot?

Trans is a 65 the seal kit I bought doesn’t have a seal like that. The dip tube is not broken but who’s to say that that dip tube belongs with that trans.
I never worked on a PG before.

The tube could have been broken previously, and replaced. With used junk yard parts, you never know what you are getting. I had my powerglide rebuilt, and the previous person that had their hands in there left out an important part. One never knows if it is an original transmission with all its original parts after someone else had their hands in it.

I think I got it. Might be a thin walled sleeve used to “Bush” the dip tube diameter where the bottom of the tube goes into the transmission case. The case where the dip stick tube goes is kinda sloppy.

They are not a machined fit.
