Orange is the new pink...
Bite me hippieOrange is the new pink...
Huh.... another member in that club..
Yes oil is in it lol! I am gonna try the overfil thing some guys do, I read somewhere you can put 4.5 qts??
The 465 was worse off than this, I am going to drive it more and see if that noise quiets down..
and MPS is in full effect, I've blow all you newbs out of the water for the past three weeks.. who lost their man card now?

Seriously. We broke stuff on Moab. Shut it
Put a street-el in the fill plug, you can run at least an extra 1/2 to full quart.
I'll do that. Thanks
Gotta ask since never heard the term but what is a street-el?
Slang for street elbow, one of these
Figured was slang.
Doing a little clean up. No I am not the best with this type of stuff, it'll work though... I hope
Interesting. I would have suspected an internal master cylinder leak if it's bleeding off pressure but not losing fluid anywhere.
I put in 5 quarts, but I had the floor pan hump removed, so I just poured it in through the reverse switch opening.
You are running special 12346190 sauce, yes?
Same thingInteresting. I would have suspected an internal master cylinder leak if it's bleeding off pressure but not losing fluid anywhere.
He's running Redline MT-85 same as me. It's engineered for the NV4500, I've got no complaints in the roughly 2,000 miles I've done on my NV4500 swap
Not the same thing. If the slave is leaking, the fluid must be leaving the hydraulic system and pooling on the ground (there's nowhere else to go). If the master cylinder piston seal leaks, the fluid goes back to the reservoir. If it leaks slowly, the clutch will disengage and then slowly bleed off (which is what's happening, no?).
If you have an air bubble the pedal will be spongy, but it should be consistently spongy.
Kinda hard to establish longevity expectations after only 2000 miles, eh?
You're driving more than I am. I've also done about 2000 miles, and mine was done several months ahead of yours.
I'm running a compatible Valvoline product. The issue with fluids other than GL-4 transmission fluid is supposed to be premature synchro wear. Not sure that the bearings care.
I had about 6-7000 miles on my NV4500 swap with the Redline MT85 before the synchros were shot. However the transmission was a used, unknown condition junkyard find so I can't say for any kind of certainty that if it was the oil or the overall condition that caused the failure. Now post rebuild I'm still running MT85. Only time will tell...Kinda hard to establish longevity expectations after only 2000 miles, eh?
