Tips for servicing manual transmission ?
Heya folks,
So recently I did a clutch job and drained the transmission, refilling it with Royal Purple. The car is running a lot hotter than usual and when I lift the hood it smells like something is a bit burnt. No real huge leaks. The car has a lot more thrust than before the job, kinda feels like a wound up toy car on the freeway, and in the lower revs 3-4k there are some clunky noises. Car isn’t exactly quiet either when it idles, as now I have this ticking noise when idling.
Are these symptoms of too much oil or too little? I know you’re supposed to wait a bit for the oil to slow while it’s weeping out the fill hole, but should I cap it right when it fills, when the stream slows to a thin stream/a trickle, or when it stops weeping?
Also, should I drain the differential and replace that? I’m thinking since once oil is old and the trans oil is new maybe that could cause some problems.
