In a recent post I asked if anything else was going to go wrong with my Hawk well,... a couple of weeks ago there were some strange sounds coming from the transmission.
I pulled the 4.55:1 ratio differential today to swap in my 3.54:1 posi. My transmission is leaking like a sieve and have a spare on the ground so it's going in. I thought the noise may have been the flex plate, so after removing the starter and removing the inspection plate, all appears to be Okay.
Something is going on in the transmission. I notice after my last drive in the Hawk that there was a mist of transmission oil across the bumper and rear deck lid.
After removing the torque convertor inspection plate, I notice alot of motor oil , so the rear main seal is leaking too so, at this point I may as well pull the oil pan and fix that leak as well. When I get to that I sure would like some advise on how to fix a rear main for longer than a year or so.
I now have the transmission out, and the differential, exhaust system and the Hawk is 18" in the air. Next step is to blow out the transmission cooler and start putting her back together.
I'm trying to remember this is my hobby but sure feels like a job.
