(i know it's really not)
Ok i have a problem...i hooked the front part of the drive shaft to the SR tranny and the rear to the rear end, then connected them at the middle, which makes sense...
BUT, when i went to connect the 2 there was a 1/4 inch (VERY little, 4 or 5mm...whatever that translates to) gap between the 2 shafts, i assumed the front piece was shoved into the splines on the tranny too far so this is what i did. I lined up the 2 shafts and put the screws in, then cross-bolted them together slowly, i didnt meet any real resistance, they came right together..
fast forward to today, i look under my car and theres a puddle of gear oil under the car.
Now, that brings me to the second issue, i put too much gear oil in (3+ liters) and i was told the excess would just leak out on its own wherever. Is that what's happening at the dust collar? (the location where its leaking)
This wouldnt be a concern if my gears didnt make noise..
When the car is winding down from about 2000-2500 rpms 3rd and 4th (and sometimes 2nd) make a grindy kind of sound..on top of that the tranny feels like of notchy. So i dunno, help!
