Are you sure you put oil in the primary and not the transmission? The trans. cover has a vent hose.

Sounds like you drained the primary. And then put the replacement lube in the Transmission. So, now the primary is dry, and the transmission is overfiiled.



And oh yeah, try some basic sentence structure.

It's a trend lately. Sign up, no intro, ask a question (typically in the wrong section), members jump in to help, then *cricket* *cricket*.... oh well, we try.
