I installed a replacement transmission in the 71.
I may have overfilled the trans. Would the excess trans oil leak out the axle and front seals or does the presence of leaks mean I need to replace the seals?? |

Dr. Evil said not to use Swepco, He says the best oil for these old trans is old school 90 weight.
I drained the Swepco, It's only been in the trans for about 100 miles max. I am going to check the condition and if it is still clear/clean, I'm thinking about using it in the trans of my 90 944 S2. I'm just not sure if that is a good idea. I don't want to trash my 944 trans just because I don't want to waste what could still be good oil. |
