The is a bit of rust on the slinger itself. That indicates that there is probably more rust in the lower parts, but the tranny works fine, so I'm not going beyond that. I'll have to dig a bit more deeply on the matching surfaces.
I did notice, however, that I might have the clutch not perfectly adjusted, and that could let the bearing retainer block the weep hole almost continuously. That would mean much of the oil is being forced down the shaft and closer to the clutch surface. I do have some indication of a contaminated clutch surface. That could be part of the cause. I don't think there is any oil coming out the rear main on the engine as that side of the fly wheel is completely dry.
I will pay more attention to the clutch adjustment, and I will check the mating surfaces on the slinger/bearing.
Back to the shop.
Thanks
Gary
