A ??? About Transmission Tailshaft Bushing Installation 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Long-Gone on  Sat Jan 1 08:30 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Thanks Rhys,

Yeah, there were distribution channels on the inner face of the bearing. Everything seems ok now, EXCEPT it was such a PITA trying to get an accurate reading off the stick that I ended up overfilling it by a few pints, now it's leaking worse than ever! One reading (after a short drive) it didn't even hit the stick, a quart later it was over the plastic indicator and a half inch up the metal rod. Where does the oil leak from when it's overfilled anyway? Is it ok to just "let it find its own level", or should I take a chance on stripping the the threads on the pan (like I've read that some here have done) and drain some out? Would it be easier to open one of the cooling lines at the radiator? Hmmm, one question leads to three, nothin's easy ehese days. BTW, I hear people suggest that an overfilled tranny is worse than an underfilled one, is that true?, What harm can it cause?

Its up on jacks now, waiting for it to cool down.

Thanks again all!
