    You can weld or pin the two pieces back together.  I had to do that on my H52.  Pulling the Hydro valve body and disassembling it is not too bad.  I have a H51 valve body from a trashed Hydro you're welcome too, but I'm not sure it's a direct swap. Single vs Dual range Hydramatics.

    In either direction? T-Valve could be stuck in its bore. Picture is of the throttle rod in its neutral position, spring should act as it rotates ~10° clockwise.  It's been awhile since I've had mine in-car, so anyone out there let me know if I'm wrong.

    no spring tension either way. Thanks for the help.
