So tomorrow my son and I are taking the G on her first major road trip.
1984 460 LWB (460333) with 617A and tranny conversion.
In anticipation of our trip up the California I5 North I decided to change the pan, pan gasket, transimission filter and ATF before the trip. I followed the write up authored by G-AMG on http://www.pointedthree.com.
I seem to still get a small dribble (leak) at the pan gasket even though I torqued to 8 Nm using a brand new torque wrench. I would drive then check the level and while I was out of the cab check the bolts again. A few times I would have to torque to 8 Nm again but only a small movement of the wrench.
What other areas are there to look at? BTW - I also drained the torque converter and both the pan and converter drained all night. I re torqued converter and pan drain plug bolts to 14 Nm.
I have been at this off and on all day. I guess I will just check the levels at each fuel stop and have ATF on hand.
We are driving to Beaverton, OR to pick up the wife and daughter who flew up to visit family then off to Bend, OR for the week.
I would love to meet up with anyone along the way.
Cheers,
Johnny
