My y pipe had been banging into the k member and ripped off the wrap.

So today I trimmed the member back some. I trimmed far enough for it to not stick together anymore.

When I went to lay a bead on it, I was rewarded with a shower of slag that burned right through my shirt. I grabbed a welding jacket and will get after this again tomorrow. In the meantime, I rewrapped the y pipe.

Next I went for the pinion seal. This was my first time doing one. I'd been avoiding it for a while, but found a YouTube video that convinced me it wasn't that hard. My concern was getting it right back the way it was, I think I managed that.

Line all the dots back up on reassembly and you're good to go. In other news, I seem to have found why the car stinks like raw gas.

Debating on ignoring it vs a plastic tank swap.

Found the problem in the Muncie, and I don't think it's the blocking rings. The 1st gear sleeve wasn't pressed on enough. Stacked clearance pushed the main shaft too far into the input shaft. I heard that this can weld itself together; so glad THAT didn't happen!!!

So you had preload where you should have had endplay.

I've never seen that before. Stop doing that!

Who else could screw something like that up?

Did it have any symptoms?
