    Just curious. Do you use the little bottle of Redline Additive with the 75/90 NS or not?

    Curious, when you drained the transaxle fluid (assume you did) how fast did the lubricant come out? Have heard that putting off the replacement of transaxle fluid can result in some very expensive problems.

    The synthetic stuff gushes out in about 60 seconds.

    The shift shaft seal looks like an easy fix. I had a shop tell me otherwise, mines leaking like mad.

    It is an easy fix in a 6 speed. The F1 is a bit trickier.

    In the F1 you need to disconnect the input shaft form the actuator, unbolt the actuator assy and pull it out of the way. I marked the bolt locations on my actuator and unbolted it.

    Once the input shaft is disconnected, the seal pops out with a screw driver. Press the new one in with a deep well socket and reconnect.

    Actuator went back in, lined up with my marks & all worked as it should. An SD computer alignment check showed I was almost dead on with the re-install.

    Half an hour to an hour depending on how stubborn the old seal is coming out.

    Cut the boot zip ties
    Disconnect the shift rod from the input shaft
    Move the shift linkage out of the way
    Minimize the amount of movement on the input shaft
    Take a flat head screw driver and a small hammer and gently tap the seal out
    Put new seal in
    Press in with a deep well socket
    PUT THE BOOT BACK ON
    Connect the stuff you took apart
    Zip tie ends of the boot.

    Every car is different but on this one no. After being serviced we drive in circle and do figure eights with the car to listen for diff chatter.

    Trying!

    We have 1 funnel between 5 techs right now. Every time I buy a replacement they complain its not the right style. Can't win with the guys in the back sometimes! But on a serious note I will sell you the funnel in the photo for $200. Shoot me a pm if interested ;).

    Just drive it on the lift until warm before draining it and let it drain while your dumping the other fluids.

    I thought those rims looked familiar

    So that's the invoice line item: "scuff oxidized rubber off tires"
    aka donuts :) :) :)
