Eric and crew,
This is the type of tranny fluid i'm running in my 1:1 velvet drive. http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=82915486&contentId=7027043 are you ok with that?? Also, once I've been running for a while and shutdown and check tranny oil level there is always a bit of pressure built up when I pull the dipstick out. Is this normal? I have a small leak in the shift linkage too, what gaskets will i need to replace this seal? The transmission was rebuilt 5 years ago. Thanks |

I couldnt pull up the page, as long as it says that it is the equivalant of Dexron Mercon.
the pressure is normal in the case, if you notice the spring loaded breather on top, it was designed to pop of at 10 psi. old units have a normal breather to ambient pressure. the gaskets you will need are the triangle gasket for the nuetral safety switch cover and an o-ring that goes around the spool near the lever. these come in the seal and gasket kit or you can get them seperately. those 2 parts are .45 each at DIM, I'll see if i have some spares so you dont have to run your card for .90 call me tommorow Eric |
