Lol..

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Time is running out and the camera has been taken south for school.

Drained the tranny fluid.. YUCK. 40% of the fluid was tranny fluid.. the other 60%.. not quite sure. I think it looks and smells like ATF.

Anyway, replaced the fluid with cheapo Canadian Tire 75w90, and 90% of the transmission noise went away. Took her for a spin with my dad. (could probably solve the problem with Redline MT-90, oh well.)

No problem doing anything in the car now, very little noise, cruising at 4000 rpm doesn't bust your eardrums either. Car spins on a dime (when we wanted it to) and turns sharp.

Power is smooth all the way from take off.

I leave for school on Friday at noon. Guess that means I'll get to enjoy the car for a single day (not even a full day!).

Still to do... but not urgent:

• Distributor rebuild
• Redo Interior
• Fix doors & locks
• Gut interior & weight reduction????

Woot. 8)

It lives! Really!

All shudder and shake problems are gone! The car is 100% except for the now audible transmission noises. Damn.

Took a peek under it quickly without a flash light. It almost looked like the fill plug was loose and the fluid was leaking past it. I'm off to Edmonton, but will work on the tranny next week. I hope it's just low fluid!

I'd love to pick up some Redline MT-90, but I don't think I'll have any luck with that. Hrmmmm.... 8D

Oh oh oh!

Three wheels polished... and the insurance inspection is complete. Possibly selling the Lexus tomorrow.

:)

MR2 will be getting out into the road soon! Thank god!
