Yes I did, it wasn't the transmission after all, frost plugs are leaking and the coolant flushed out some remaining trans oil from the bell housing so transmission needs to be pulled. Also has a small engine oil leak by the distributor at the manifold. There was a small pool of oil on the timing chain cover..and my steering rack was leaking again as well. Ford sure must have made a bundles on service....lol

Good evening Illinois, Jim, Pat, John, Neil, Ken, Steve, and any latecomers!

Was another hot one today with oppressive humidity, Made for a good day to slack or nap in front of the TV.

There was no antifreeze and rust preventive in it for 15 years you may have more leaking over time. Glad that the trans wasn't leaking. What vehicle did you get the steering rack out of?

Steering rack is brand new, only thing that is used is the motor/trans
