skyblue Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 you "should" be able to take the hose off and take it to napa or another parts store that makes hoses. they should be able to make you the exact same thing Oh really? I didnt know they do that. So what id i use a brake hose? i lookes at them both and they seem to be identical. Only thing i xan think of that might be different is the threads on the slave.

skyblue Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 so did some work to her. Replaced the slave, ordered a Dorman from rockauto but part said nabco japan :D. She's back on the road and shifting great. also replaced the rear main seal which was a bitch cause apparently the tranny doesn't come out without taking out the motor too. so it was tight trying to get that seal out. but finally got it out and it was all nasty. the genius PO put a bunch of blue silicone around the outside of the seal, which made it a real bitch to remove. but after all was said and done the oil leak is down to the size of a quarter. Also polished her up with some TR-3 and took some pics. she looks clean and shiny. :wub: 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 26 dollors shipped? I would have bought 2 - 3 of them as most times the shipping is the same. just depends of where the warehouse is I guess. I plug in different parts and see if sent from same location as it will say on the order. if to many different places I might not order the part or buy in quantity to justify the price. Otherwise Ill try to go to Carquest Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 hey guys have another question. Just received fel-pro timing cover gasket kit and it comes with 2 different gaskets for the 2 sides. is one for L16 and the other for L20 or something? The L20b is taller, that is why there are 2 bolt holes above the water jacket holes Quote Link to comment
