All future inquiries of "Who is the Man?" shall be met with a reply of MIKE F'ing CHUZIE!
For God's sake, it is done.
Does anyone know how HOT it was in CHS today? I was in my driveway with my coveralls in the sun. Still waiting for the symptopms of heatstroke to surface. I did drinK 1.5 gal of water though.
------------------------
I have been at it continuously since 8am. Started to do a pressure test but the equipment was jacked and I don't have $50.00 for a new tester so I took my chances and dropped the tranny anyway.
The front seal was defective so I replaced t with a new one and reinstalled the tranny. The only leak I have now, which is about 2 drops/min is at the dip stick on the pan. Looks like PTFE is going to have to fix that issue.
Filled up with a few more quarts and took her for a spin around the block. Didn't go over 20mph because, honestly, I am scared a sh*t I am going to screw something up. I just want to get it broken in for a couple of cycles and then I will take it on the road to make sure everything shifts correctly.
So far so good though. JP was right, that tranny jack is $$$ especially when you are removing and installing a tranny/transfer case combo by yourself.
Bucket- I used Lucas Oil Transmission Fix for an assembly lube. If you are familiar with it you know it is thick gooey nastiness so I would say you are correct about it needing to warm up. Seems to shift faster now.
More to come tomorrow after the actual road test.
