I think my gearbox is hosed...

[danielzink]

I took the motor out of the notch tonight and what do I see ?

A puddle of gear lube in the bottom of the bellhousing. I was definitely gear lube and not engine oil - by the consistency and smell........The input shaft has a TON of play - both side to side and up and down.....

Whaddya think ?

Shot bearings that support the input shaft, time to go through the trans.....
