Wow, you really have a problem there. Not only is the tranny puking water, but the filler neck is full of CLEAR water - not even murky. I'm not sure you have any oil left in that motor at all. I'd drain the pan first thing.

Like we discussed earlier, I'd check with a mirror or finger through the inspection plates to see if you're missing the freeze plugs. I'd have a hard time believing that any crack in the rear iron could put that much water into the tranny. Come to think of it, you might just want to pull the tranny and flywheel - the freeze plugs will be missing or shot.

Wow, haven't seen that before. Like Crit said, there's a major malfunction in there somewhere, unless you just dragged that thing out of a creek.

Since the water is crystal clear, I'm guessing you didn't have any antifreeze in the cooling system and during these last freeze cycles the water froze and popped the freeze plugs. Then when it warmed up the water leaked into the crankcase mixing with engine oil to make that nice tan sludge and into the tranny, where it just leaked back out.

I'm guessing the freeze plugs are in there for a reason, which is to save your butt some money if your coolant freezes up - cheaper to replace the plugs than a whole new engine. I'm with Crit, pull the tranny and plan to put those freeze plugs back in.

That would make the name FREEZE plugs make sense.

Michael, you could always talk to Stu (Jeezus) about one of his 12As. He'll be coming down for Saturday.

PM Ray Green and see if he can help you. He may have a good beehive. Have you checked the freeze plugs?
