This is a bit off topic...but not much. Do your manuals mention anything about using atf in a stick shift? I ask because that's exactly what a zf-650 specs. Among numerous other manual gear boxes and 4wd and awd transfer cases. Point being is each transmission is speced for a specific oil...

You need a bigger reservoir for sure. That being said I wonder if the bypass is opening. The only other thing that comes to mind is the pump starving for oil.

The most likely cause of your oil contamination is either the hydraulic head o rings have failed, the booster pump seal has failed, and if you have one, the fuel density compensater could be leaking. None of these problems are terribly difficult to fix. If you have an fdc go ahead and bypass...

First come, first serve is my policy. This is because there are so many tire kickers out there I don't have time to ignore a potential buyer just so the guy who promised he would come never shows up.

I wouldn't worry too much about brand. I run travelers 80w-90 from tsc in all of my equipment. No problems at all. I run it in my deuce axles also. Good stuff. Just find a gl-5 rated gear oil and get it done.

You nailed it. The tm states that the o ring should be dry. However, I have excellent luck with smearing silicone o ring lube on the o ring before sandwiching it between the wheel halves.

You do realize that 40 wt motor oil and 80w-90 gear oil are almost the exact same viscosity right?

Because my ocd won't allow me to see a double groove pulley with one loose belt.

In the case of that video he converted a standard single stick to 3 stick.....because trucker.

Search youtube for 3 stick shifting.

Other than the fact that it won't prevent or cure anything.....it adds something else to weld to the spindle in the event of a failure. The simple fact is the bearing failed and no shim or seal was going to save the spindle and nut. Regular bearing packing and inspection is the ticket to...

O ok. On the front axle no. Nothing is required between the nut and outer bearing. If it makes you feel better you can put an outer axle seal in between the bearing and nut. It won't really do anything.

There is a lock washer with tabs you fold over that goes in between the 2 spindle nuts.

The shift fork isn't what holds the t/c in hi/lo. You have another problem. Machining detents will only wear out the shift fork from constantly attempting to hold the case in whatever gear is selected.

Your symptoms sound more like a governor issue.

They are the bushings on the top and bottom of the steering knuckle.

How's your kingpin bushings?

I wouldn't. Might burn that seal up in the booster pump.

The more air pressure the more brake boost.

Ok yes that might be npt but I can't say for sure.
