I earlier added to the "what you did today thread" but I thought I would start a new thread with some more details on my transaxle troubles.
So I recently installed by rebuilt tranny after the PNW tranny clinic. I also converted from tail to side shift, and all the bushings. The previous owner (40 yrs) rebuilt the engine after 97k miles in 2007, but afaik did nothing on the tranny. The bushings were shot. Last weekend, after logging 120 test miles around Central Oregon, I thought I'd take her down to the Bay Area. About 130 miles into the trip, I hear a loud bang and spin a 360 into the ditch. During the fun, I figured I had a blowout. But not tire problems just a locked up rear differential. I pulled the tranny and this is what I saw. (Please excuse the large photos, but it adds detail)  So I opened up the tranny case and found some interesting stuff. Pictures to follow... |
