Finally got back to working on the Talon Sat.
After I put in the replacement trans, I developed a leak and parked the car again due to the weather. I thought it was the transfer case seal so I pulled it out. Transfer Case was full of oil, so that wasn't it. The inside on the trans housing was all wet when I pulled the clutch fork boot off so apparently one of the trans seals is leaking. Looks like the output shaft for the transfer case may be the culprit. It seems to be seaping just sitting in the driveway. Thing is, why would it be wet up by the clutch fork?? The input shaft seal shouldn't be leaking that much because it's above the oil line in the trans, at least I think so. I hope it's not the input shaft seal, I'd have to disaasemble the trans to replace that. I did remove the inoperable cruise control since I picked up a no-cruise cable over the winter. Need to finish hooking that stuff up. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

The race trans started grinding 4th gear so out it came...
I rebuilt the grenaded trans and swapped it for the race trans today today. Shifts pretty good and should get me back to the track soon. Guess I'll bust the case open on the race trans and look at 4th gear hub and syncros. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
