I’ve been under the car for 3 days now. I think it’s finally fixed but not drivable just yet.
Here was the progression of my weekend. I got the trans out pulled the leaky bearing/seal and looked at both parts to see what may have caused the damage. The only thing I saw was this.
It doesn’t look like much but it feels pretty rough.
I looked through my parts and found another. (probably a mistake, actually in hindsight it was a mistake) It was smooth and looked like it was up to the task.
So I installed it with the acdelco bearing and it leaked as bad or worse
So I pulled it back out a second time. I had to bite the bullet and get a new assembly.
I got it installed and back in the car.
It sits with the drivetrain all intact just waiting for me to finish up everything else.
