Update: Drained the transmission, results don't look good. Posted by Frank [Email] (#2509) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Frank) on Tue, 16 Oct 2018 13:27:29 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Finally had a chance to track down the 12mm hex key I need to remove the transmission drain plug. With the help of a 3 foot extension bar, I was barely able to remove the plug. Whoever was in there last seriously overtightened it.
The fluid that came out looked pretty ominous - sludgy and dark gray. Stuck to the plug magnet were plenty of find metal dust and 5-10 metal thin metal shavings. No thick metal chunks though, for what it's worth.
I'm wondering if that points to a terminal failure for the gearbox, or something else?
Practically, that means, do I push forward with removing the engine and gearbox or do I go further to investigate the problem.
