ok this is wiered. i have been having some trouble with my transmition, it has had exessive noice in first sencond and third gear.

So i did my research before i posted and went and had my fluid checked to see if it was low.

The strange thing is the fluid level was good BUT the fluid was BLUE! actually like a dark teal!!!!!!!

Never seen or herd of anyhting like this any one have any ideas? im figuring i need a new tranny now (correct me if im wrong) but whats up with the fluid..

 

maybe someone put the wrong stuff in it, or maybe it's some sort of synthetic? never used it so i don't know. drain it and put regular 90w gear oil in it and see if it helps.

 

Teal? ... I have never heard of Teal transmission fluid... I know its supposed to turn dark brown when its dirty/overheated as an indicator (or so the supplier tells me lol) but teal???

 

ok ill drain it in the morning and try to see if that helps anything but still wiered, havent even fould anything online yet lol.

 

Well i drained it and it helped with the heat from what i can tell but, the noise is still there I guess my nest guess would be to have teh throw out bearing checked..... ill post pics of that oil later its wild lol

 

Time to go tranny shopping. I keep spares of a lot of stuff just in case. Love going treasure hunting at pick n pull. I always have spare starters, alternators, gobs of ignitors and 2 transmissions. Gotta stock up when the opportunity strikes! I had to courier a waterpump to a buddy overnight in Ontario when his packed it in, not the dealer nor anyone he could contact could find one for him.

 

i got a gsl-se trans from a running 85 for sale ill throw in a like new reman starter im in austin tx $110

 

lubeguard trasmission fluid is blue..i just googled it and took 2 seconds

 

If the throwout bearing is bad, the tranny will only make noise when you are stepping on the clutch. If it makes noise in neutral with the engine running, it may be the input shaft bearing in the transmission.

FYI....lubegard is good stuff!

 

fwiw my gsl-se has a noisy tranny also, like a whirring noise in proportion to speed. seems to be louder in lower gears but that my be d/t lack of other noise at lower speed. clutch seems fine, fluid was fine at last check. it'll be interesting to see if it improves with new fluid...

 

noise in every gear but 4th is the middle countershaft bearing. turn up the radio, they all did it

 

thanks, I will fix it when I get home tonight.
