Shawn, it is time for a rebuild on that transaxle. You can probably run it for a long time, but you will eventually wear out the ring and pinion since a worn pinion bearing throws them out of proper alignment and clearance. Then it will be really noisy and rebuild costs will be higher. Also, my factory trained rebuilder said fill it up to the bottom of the hole; those early lower level recommendations were an attempt to improve stiff shifting, which Red Line improves anyway. -- Stuart MacMillan Manager, Case Program 800-909-8244 ext 208 Getting your share of the Net yet? http://www.cobaltgroup.com http://www.casedealer.com/demo http://www.caseihdealer.com/demo |
