Noise update. Noise is in the trany and not the u-joints or driveshaft,
Shoooooot.
Well I was wondering what I was doing to get through the winter and now I
know. Rebuilding
another O/D to replace the one that is in there now. Nice to have a couple
of spare units to fall back on
but still a pain in the ass to swap out. Also the one in place now is my
only 28% ratio that I have.
Oh well life will go on in Healeydom.
I know that removal of the O/D unit is not too bad but the installation can
be a bit tricky if not impossible with the transmission still in the car.
Any tips that anyone has for replacement of just the O/D, while the rest of
the trany is in the car, would be appreciated. Yes I will check the
archives when the time comes.
