Re: [Tech] Gear Oil Smell

["Joe Doty" <rocco2nr@hotmail.com>]

Depending on your budget limitations and need to drive the car, it may not 
be a bad idea to yank the whole thing.  That way you could get all the seals 
in the transmixer, and even have it fully rebuilt.  It would suck to bust 
ass on the flange seals and then have something else start leaking 10k 
later.
