I think i blew the torque converter

When I first got the car I was told there was some leaking from the diff cover but I never addressed it. There was barely over a quart that came out into the drain pan. While I'm sure thats a problem I still have the issue at highway speed where the entire drivetrain feels like its vibrating. I'm not sure if its wheels out of balance, or wheel bearings, I'm running out of stuff to replace.

This was also my first good look under the rear of the car, good lord the stock suspension pieces are junk. Thin ass U shaped control arms and that piece that goes from side to side over top the axle.

Could be a balance issue, or maybe a bad u-joint. And I believe you're talking about the rear sway bar. Those things are tiny on thirdgen's, and rust like crazy.

so is your trans still slipping? im confused... ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME LOL

yea trans is slipping but I decided to fix the rear end yesterday and now I think its leaking, apparently I didnt get the sealing right with the rtv, fml I cant win

[kaymo]

remember, its THIN EVEN COAT

are you using a gasket at all? or just RTV?

if not, id recommend getting a gasket, rubber if available. if not, id just make one from thin cereal box cardboard, with a thin even coat of RTV on either side of it. sounds crazy, but it works great. ive had this on my water neck of my sunbird for a hot minute with absolutely NO leakage.

just RTV, I'm going to try tightening up the bolts a tad more but if its still doing it im going to have to do the entire job over again and if I do, im using a gasket
