Agree 100%, and if you had enough oil on that for it to actually leak out, it’s way too saturated. You’re going to see problems with the MAF from that I’d be willing to bet.
The transmission has to come out, or the engine. It can be done either way. Sounds to me like this mechanic is hoping you’ll buy a crate engine, and leave your “old, worthless “ one with him for a cheap rebuild..
If I’m understanding your post, the actual front diff moves 1/4” at certain times..? I guess I’d be checking the diff mount points, to determine why that’s happening. I may be confused by what you wrote, but it sounds like you’ve already identified the problem.
I have 2 trolley jacks from HF. Both have been excellent (Daytona). One is a low pro, for my LOOOOW Civic, and the other is a standard 3-ton I use for the Yukon. No need to spend big bucks on the expensive brands, the Daytonas are great. And, if you need to waste endless hours of your time, to...
They aren’t that hard to come by, but getting more expensive, as everyone wants them for builds as they are phenomenal bang for the buck, myself included-so if you do swap it, I’ll take your old one.. :happy107:
Agree. A head gasket wouldn’t really be that big a job, and unless it caused catastrophic damage, should certainly not condemn the engine. Maybe he wants a 6.0..
I’d check the wheel speed sensors on the 2 front wheels. Especially since someone was just in there doing brakes. You may also have air in the brake lines / and pump, but you didn’t mention anything about the abs light, so maybe not. The speed sensors are known for getting dirty / corroded.

ETA: Last summer she was spinning both easily, unexpectedly really, but something must have given up between then and now. Only thing changed was that I installed the girdled cover and changed the fluid.
I’ve been building up my tool set via Hobo Fraught, and Tekton mostly the last couple months. Can’t beat their prices with a stick! And the quality of the Quinn, and Icon tools is vastly improved over the older stuff and the Pittsburgh line.
