Re: Gearbox leak after battery in wrong way??

No it isn't. I checked that when I had the box off and it is all dry there. It's red oil dripping out the little hole at the bottom of the bell housing. It's just the torque convertor seal so I'll have to sort something out.

cv replace, rebuild?

I'm getting a clicking noise while turning hard left in my car sounds like it's the driver side making all the commotion. I'm using ae101 gtz shafts. Now Toyota have discontinued the shafts and cvs for this model. Now I need to know what my other options are to either replace or rebuild the cv ends?

Re: Painting wheels?

I've got a friend that can blast the black powder coat off my wheels and then clear them. Will that work? I've been told the alloy gets all pitted once blasted. Will the clear finish it off well enough or do you need a filler to smooth it over.
