Water in the tranny
I Pulled out the stick shift yesterday and on the end of it was a milky
white fluid. NOT GOOD!!!!! I am going to change out the fluid today or
tomorrow.
My question is......
What kind of damage am I looking at if I was running the tranny with water
in with the fluid. It has been a year since I have had the fluid changed.
It runs good and I have no problems shifting. I have a T18A and a Dana 300.
I am also going to change out the fluid in the trans case while I am at it.
Thanks

Hi Shamus
It depends on how long it sits, if you drive it everyday than the
damage it has done, you probably wouldn't be able to see. But the pits
on the bearings and teeth surfaces are noticeable after about a week of
sitting, and would be junk after about six months as I found out after I
had bought a body off restoration where the guy lost interest and enough
water from the steam cleaning had gone down the tower.

Hard to say without looking and then you have to look at the bearings and
surfaces. Some water gets into the tranny due to normal condensation, this
is another reason why you need a nice long vent hose.
I'll have to defer to the others here, never worked on a standard before.
