What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
There's gear oil on the slip yoke and the rear of the trans. Two separate sources - one is a defective reverse light switch, I can see it seeping between the metal body and the plastic barrel, and the other is the new (but now old) seal, aggravated by a rusty yoke I probably didn't polish enough. The yoke is a 7260 joint so I have a cross-joint to my 3.5" 7290 driveshaft. Ordered a new 7290 yoke, solid U-joint and seal, around $110 for all three. Not too bad for a shakedown run so far.
So today the driveshaft is out, yoke and U-joint pressed off, faulty tailshaft seal and leaky reverse-light switch removed. Now yet another looooong wait for parts in my hand (ordered yesterday) before I can put it back together and start gunning for the engine oil leak!
