After days of doing the gasket over and over, this morning I decide to actually
INSPECT it. One of the bolt holes was bent so that the plate would not lay
flush. Bolt...thick washers...thick iron stock with hole in it... big nut...air
wrench...BRRRRRAAPP! take all that out...gasket...form-a-gasket...tighten all
six nuts...boot back on...pump in gear lube.........NO LEAK!
YEA!!! Make sure all the shifter linkage with new bushings is greased and
tight...lower the lift...bolt down the shifter...get in...fire Murray up...good
strong start...put it in reverse...good solid shifter feel...let out the
clutch...the whole bus kinda shutters...no go... get out walk around, no
chocks...get in ...start...reverse...shutter, no go. (friggin' tranny is no
good, grumble grumble)...wait...sound of lightning through cerebelum...get
out...raise the lift...TAKE OUT THE BOTTLE JACK THAT IS HOLDING THE AXLE TUBE
