crazy high oil pressure
When i turn the key on the oil pressure goes right up to the limit. it does it even before I start the engine. It doesnt change after I turn the engine on and and slowly goes down after ignition is off for a while. I just replaced the trans and clutch. It also starts buzzing and the add coolant light comes on after running for about 10-15 seconds. Is there something i am missing or got a bad oil pump or regulator?
Thanks,
Dan Chizek

Sounds like the wire for the oil pressure sender is grounded somewhere and/or your gauge is broken. Also sounds like you have some air bubbles in your coolant system so you need to bleed the cooling system.

When you you replaced the trans/clutch, did you reconnect the condensor for the oil pressure gauge? Also, it should be connected to a ground, usually through one of the bolts of the slave cylinder
