Slipping Clutch/ Contamination Issue

[mark4g63t]

Checked and have replaced that as well. Definitely not brake fluid. Almost positive its gear fluid. It has a very faint smell to it so its hard to distinguish between gear fluid or oil.

Anyone know how to replace the input shaft seal and willing to show a fellow dsmer? Would Gosh be able to tell if the bell housing is cracked? Need to make 100% sure its not cracked first.

Got the input shaft seal replaced by Mark. Put the flywheel and clutch back on last night now I just have to lift the tranny in tonight when I get off work. Also wasn't going to take a chance of oil leaking out the galley plug so I jb welded it closed. Here are some more pics. As Mark was taking the gears out a crush washer fell out and reveled a nice size gash in the case. Glad it didn't cause more damage.
First pic is the leak shown by the UV dye on the input shaft
Second and third are the seal and location of seal
Fourth is the gash left by the random crush washer

:drive:

ur linkage adjusted properly?

[mark4g63t]

Clutch master was adjusted properly, yes, if thats what you meant (2g). It was a leaking input shaft seal that was putting gear oil onto my disc and making it slip once boost started to hit. Should be fixed now. Only time will tell tho

Got the transmission in last night, will have to finish putting her back together tonight when I get off work and hopefully start it up. I'm getting anxious to be able to boost and hopefully this solves the slipping clutch issue that has stopped me from doing that for almost a year.
Here's a pic of the trans installed. That's as far as I could get before my body shut down for the night.

Got it all back together beside the fact that the coolant sensors got ripped out of the connectors right at the base. Depinned them this morning but was unable to finish due to the power going out. Decided to lengthen the wires a little bit to make sure they don't get ripped out again and to hide them a bit more than previously. Hopefully tonight it will stop raining so I can take her for a much needed cruise.

So did you put the oil soaked disk back in there?

I hope for his sake he didn't

[mark4g63t]

Lol No way! That thing is garbage. Put a street disc in there I had laying around. Felt pretty good this morning. 15 psi hoping to turn it up tonight to at least 18. We'll see how that goes however. No leaks thus far. Going to check fluid levels and clean the garage floor tonight to triple check for any leaks.
