Super M Trans/Rear Axle

Posted by gusc on February 15, 2005 at 16:25:27 from (63.97.117.34):

When I got it a few months ago the PO said it needed more Trans oil because he didn't have enough.

I bought more and decided that I would open the drain plug to drain any wateron the bottom. I didn't want to waste the new oil on top of cruddy old oil and water.

Of course there was lots of water, all the 7 gallons of oil came out creamy. I flushed it with gas and lots more crud came out, some as thick as tar.

I pulled some crud out with my finger and found a couple of roller bearings! I'm going to be optimistic here and figure that they are from a long ago breakdown (I hope) because it runs like a champ and makes no strange noises.

Moral of the story; there is probably always water in the trans/axle because it is inside a huge cast steel heat sink and collects moisture every time it gets really cold and warms up again.
