I Reinstalled my oil pump today. I poured oil into it before I did so. I
rotated it until it seated and then put the bolts in. this is the first time
doing this so I wanted to get a confirmation in that it will only seat when
it is lined up with the gear blade. am I correct?
while doing so I noticed that the plate at the rear of the engine pan
area (at the front bottom of the tranny) seemed loose. it looks like a cover
plate for the bell housing. there are two places for bolts to go but there
are none there. Should there be bolts installed it?
I drained the tranny and the fluid looked ok. I did find small filings
around the magnet. I pulled the drain plug assembly apart and cleaned it all
out. the magnet was broken into three pieces so it is possible that some of
the shavings were from it. the tranny has worked great so far. I do not know
the history of the tranny. Assuming that the fluid has been changed
regularly what should I expect to find as far as wear and tear indicated by
the magnet? what oil do you recommend for it?
sorry for the long e-mail. As always everyone's expertise is appreciated!
