chevybanshee91 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) went to the drags the other day after i put the engine all back together, rode it in two drags and had a great day (took 2nd place :biggrin: ) anyways i took it back home and drove it around the yard once and put it in the garage and then came back 10 min. later theres oil on the ground. looked around and saw it was coming from the tranny breather hole. so i pull the drain plug out and i had probably all of my coolant in my case. i replaced all the top end gaskets and clutch cover gasket, and i have no clue how all my coolant would get in my case within 30 min total of riding it. all i know is that my head is slightly warped but its not that bad, but would that cause all my coolant to end up in the case with that short of riding time??? need help quick!

LiftdT4R Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Most likely the water pump gasket is bad, or the plate is not sitting in there correctly. I would pull the clutch cover and take a look around the water pump area. If there is coolant in the tranny oil, 9 ties out of 10 its because the water pump isnt sealing up right.

Had the same problem with mine first i replaced the water pump seal and that didnt fix it so the last time i rebuilt it i went ahead and split my case and resealed it with the black permatex sealer and havent had a problem since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickkomar Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 k take a big ol deep breath and relax! If the coolant was leaking at the head it wouldn't wind up in the trany, it would of been burned off and made your exhaust smell sweet. Did you replace the o-ring on the tube that comes out of the side of your case in to the clutch cover? and if yes did you put a thin coat of sillycone/rtv on it? last but not least the water pump seal is suspect. Those two thing are the only way I know for coolant to make in to your trany and both are easy and not expensive to fix if your careful when you pull the clutch cover and don't tear the gasket.
