Default Why move the floor.....

....cause you need to slide the tranny backward to get the input shaft out AND the shifting tower needs to be removed for clearance....... since I had put some ultra violet coloring agent in the tranny to detect leak I did not want to remove the cover and create additional drippings...... tranny was empty but that yellow/lime coloring get into every nook and cranny....... that why I spotted some yellow coloring on the very end of the input splined shaft right into the pilot bearing of the crankshaft....... only way to get there is if the oi llevel is too high and it creeps by the bearing seal and into the input horn....allowing it to drip on the back face of the clutch disk....... the coloring drys to a yellow/lime stain that can be washed with brake cleaner.

....and found some GL 4 "yellow metal" friendly gear oil in 80/90 in Ottawa.

Cheers
