January 21, 200719 yr =Manual Transmission 1. What solvent can/should I use to flush the front transmission? 2. How can I flush the rear differential? 3. Are there any clutch alignment tricks I should know about? 4. whats the best way to break it in? -thx, Jeff
January 21, 200719 yr Hi! No need to flush anything. If you insist, then I suggest just pouring fresh oil in without installing the drain plug. Clutch alignment requires the standard pilot shaft tool thingy - can't recall the trade name. Nothing fancy. Running in shouldn't be too tricky, just drive normally and avoid "jack-rabbit" starts for the first 300 miles. Avoid them anyway of you want it last for a long time
January 22, 200719 yr Author The spring pins did not go back into the outer CV assymbly while a drill bit of the correct size slid easily through. Is it possibly misaligned, or do I just need new spring pins? Also, can I put somthing in the holes besides the spring pins and change them out after a few days of driving? One of the pins broke from trying to tap it in, the other is bent, but in over half way. I think the rear transmission case needed to be more level. Can I get back on the road with the springpins in the above condition and just switch them out in a few days? One other question: How can I tell the difference between binding and good connection -gear to spline- in the transaxle? (ie): is there a tolerance I should be "feeling" for? --god bless heated shops-- Jeff
