Hurts Taking One Like This

[YukonRog]

I see no fault/cracks there at all. I am still going with my first WAG, inside that TC.

Yeah since that's where it's the noisiest that's what I'm doing. Ordering parts today or tomorrow. Hey, all else fails I'll have a rebuilt TC right? And experience!

Start at the flexplate and replace everything, including the flexplate, from there back and problem is solved. Solved except for which bank to rob to pay for it, in town or out of town? Be more creative with a mask than the Covid mask you may have.

Actually thought of the bank. At worst if I got caught then I wouldn't have to work on it anymore. Three hots and cot...

So progress, and a wall. Got her in the garage. "Two V Twins and Yukon gone wrong." Making my own songs now. So the friggin drain plug is buggered. I know, I did it. Didn't think I put it on that tight. But, can't get it off! Any ideas? I tried big vice grips and even a pipe wrench. If I pull it full won't it puke out the front? Should I drill it and take a shower?

Get a good bite on it with a vice grips and then add some heat with your propane torch. Add the heat to the case on the side of the threads. It will soak away fast.

I was a little concerned about using a torch under there. Might give that a try. I was also thinking about taking a 6 sided socket a size smaller and hammering it on.

The back half of that case is magnesium. But s little heat wont hurt. If I recall thats 17mm so you would use a 21/32” according to this chart. 16mm and 5/8” may be too small. Are you replacing the case half too?

It's 18mm. I've tried everything but heat and there's now not much left of the nut. I'm replacing the half case so I think I'll just try to lower it. What's a few more lbs right? How much tranny fluid can I expect from front? I loosened the nuts and it started dripping.

Will probably spill out of the tail housing when tipped... or do these drop forward and out?

TC comes out forward, turn, and down. But it's sealed right? I'm talking about tranny fluid at the adapter.
