Good day all!
Been a long time since I posted here. You know how it is: life, the universe, and everything. At any rate, I have to pull my transmission for a couple reasons.
One, I'm almost positive the RMS is gone (either that or the oil pan has had it) as the X is losing oil at a fantastic rate. It used to be just a trickle, but in the last week it's become a deluge. I tried to check with my inspection camera but I can't tell if it's the oil pan or RMS.
Two, one of my transmission mount horns is broken. Don't know when that happened, but I want to get it welded.
I'm assuming this will also make the header installation easier. While I'm in there I'm going to drop in a new clutch (Centerforce II from Rugged Rocks I think, anyone have other suggestions?), and a new oil pan (because why not)?
My question: is there anything else maintenance wise or mod wise that's worth doing while the transmission et al is removed? I replaced the starter not long ago so that's done already. I'm going to give a good once over of any lines and wiring that passes through that area for arguments sake, as well as a good look at the condition of the floor pan. In fact I might clean it up and give it a couple coats of paint just to keep the nasty Canadian Winter Juice from making the X into a mobile outhouse for a few more years.
Does that about sum it up?
Thanks in advance!
