Naturally the first thing I do is change the oil, no problem. Then the rear diff gear oil, being careful to make sure I can open the filler plug before draining (learned that here!) However I didn't follow that advice with the transmission fluid and now I've got an empty tranny and can't get that stubborn square bolt loose.
My question is: can I start it up and drive it up my ramps? Will that hurt anything to move it the two feet or so? I need more room for leverage.
Yea, but make it quick!Quote:

It won't hurt it. I know some racers that will drain the tranny and rear for qualifying....less drag=more horse power!
Oh no, this isn't the first stupid thing I've done, just the first stupid thing I've done with this car.
WOW!!! ::Blink::Quote:

Don't worry Titus, the staff is water-proof.
Wow, I knew people like Keith run oil so thin they might as well not put any in it, but didn't think they would do that! So is this why it is near impossible to find a used rear-end that isn't crap?Quote:

Once you get past tomorrow around noon the rest of the weekend is good. ;)
Is that the whole pumpkin or just the internals? If its for a 1.6 rear end, I have all the space and tools etc to assist you! Give me a time and I will be there or you can come over here!
it would be the pumpkin and all, i have some extra halfshafts that are supposed to work with it, im not sure if i can use the same style as i already have though. (ya know with the ears) i know i will give the ears with with the vlsd that i have because they are needed.
I thought I was first in line for it from our conversations over here.Quote:
