So while we had the little warm up this weekend I borrowed the pressure washer from my buddy and finally cleaned off the driveway. Now Inga has in the past left her mark on the driveway. With oil leaks, power steering rack leaks and even a leak in the rear differential that was fixed by my pro.

It seems all the work this summer has paid off even more than I first realized. Inga has a bone dry belly pan and a dry engine block. The rebuilt rack is also dry and should have done that sooner. There is the little tiny bead of coolant over the exhaust manifold but that evaporates quickly. Thought I still had an oil leak on the rear main based on the stain on the drive, but after pulling in from work on Monday realized there was just one little spot but it was much further back. Looked at the rear of the engine and it was dry. Popped up the rear by the pumpkin and slid under and it is the very rear of the transmission leaking. Read about that being a known problem.

So looks like when attack the TAB's with the hole saw method I may need to also address the tail end of the tranny. New Bearing and gasket for sure, but anything else? And how hard a job is it to pull the drive shaft and change the bearing on the tranny?

If I have to drop the drive shaft, what should I go ahead and change? Center Bearing or something else.

Thanks in advance for your input,

Paul
