I pulled it from the bell-housing forward, leaving the 4-speed tranny in place. My question; When I pulled the inner/lower bolts between the bell-housing and the tranny, gear lube began running out.
It seems to be about a half a pint or so.
Is this normal? This is my first experience separating the trans. from the motor. I would have thought there would be some type of seal that would retain the fluid in the transmission.
How much %wise did I lose, and do I need to do anything after I put the new motor in, that is besides the obvious topping off the gear lube? | | |

Yup, the threaded holes are open into the case. I think it's best drain out the old oil and clean out the threaded holes with spray brake cleaner.Use the white teflon sealer in a tube to coat the bolt threads on reassembly.One less place for oil to leak.Pull the front retainer on the tranny input shaft,no seal but you can put sealer on those bolt holes and on the gasket that should stuck on the case.While you're at it,do the pto side cover too,make your own gasket if necessary or use a RTV sealer.Gone this far,back off the nut on the rear yoke............ | | |
