I think folks are still trying to figure out how you dropped the pan and inspected a standard transmission. The don't have them.


. . but with that aside; what kind of oil did you put back in it?

It sounds like the gears are just worn a bit. 4th is direct drive so it shouldn't make any noise.
I wouldn't worry about it too much if it shifts good.

O-yea this trans has a pan on the bottom like the auto would have. come to think of it that was strange.. this it a top loader shifter.it also has a drain plug. the fluid I put back in was a
synthetic blend valvoline 80w-90 was this ok to use??
thanks tshelton
