Trans Done But Another Problem
I finally got the correct input shaft after they lost my order then sent the wrong one. I got it two days ago so I assembled the trans one night and got to it today. I got it all buttoned up started it and everything was going good. Took it for a short spin around the block everything looks good. Take my son for a short drive and notice that dreaded sweet smell of coolant. Nothing on the carpet maybe it will go away. No luck :nonod: The heater core is now toast. I guess all the sitting rotted it out. It was 10 years ago it was replaced and I can't remeber if I really replaced it. Now I'm thinking about bypassing it for a while and replacing it later. The car has been layed up for 7 weeks with the trans so I want to drive it. It now sits dripping a little fluid in a pan under the car. It is dripping outside and not on the carpet so far. Looks like more work tomorrow.
