Did the old pull out and tear down and cleaning of parts and repainting of stuff. I am gonna be ordering parts soon to start reassembly I got some pics spread all over other threads. My friend Jesse has been a big help with all this so far so thanks bud.

Along with the engine building I got this big project of cleaning of a long long brake fluid leak that ate all the paint and started rusting the metal. here are some pics

i used old gas to clean mine worked alot better than brake cleaner and is cheaper. i wouldnt see anything wrong with water the tranny is sealed and its an aluminum case so it wont rust.. what happens when you drive your car through rain or in a puddle? lol.

if you use a presure washer on a sealed trans it's sposed to possibly get in the input shaft or something of the sort. And if it were to and then sit for a bit before being used this would create flash rust. We use a water and soap parts cleaner at the trans shop, but we blow the parts off with air immediately afterwards and then cover them right back in oil as they go back into the casing.

 

the input shaft, output shaft, and machined yoke shaft would not be good places to have flash rust start and sit while not in use.

yeah it's on the list of things to replace the M/C that is. I gotta move the steering gear box out of my way yet to get underneath that and I may drop the front suspension to see if it got between that and the frame. All I know is, man what a mess!

I think that Attis was asking if you have the stock KM132 transmission I believe. And I have no clue what he meant about PS...power steering maybe? He's from Hungary=) Good job cleaning your tranny though. It's coming together nicely. Now I have my car unfortunately next to my garage instead of storage=( I sprayed silicroil all over the input shaft to keep it from rusting, do you think that would be fine? lol

It's okay, We just have to be patient till we figure it out. Are you asking how much miles on it? How much fluid it holds? Just don't get upset, I used to deal with AFE (foreign exchange students)

Are you trying to ask him how he put a KM132 in an LE? or how many came with the KM132? The double how has me confused=) I'm pretty sure all of the 2.6's came with the KM 132, right? IF LE refers to the model of his Quest, it is infact actually a TSi (widebody).

And don't be sorry, it's not bad at all. And you're welcome=)

I get to add motor mounts to the list, the ones I have must be originals the plates are seperating from the rubber. I'd put up a pic but I'm on my mindow millenium computer at work and I think I'd be here forever

Its the same car, thats what it looked like when I first got it 5 or 6 years ago. The inside was worse it had absolutely no interior in it, lol. It had black dash and door panels and maroon seats thats it, it really looked like a POS. I like that pic because it between then and now I've created a lot of memories , met a lot of friends, and learned a lot of patience. Its been like a journey to me, its not the finished product so much as it is the journey along the way. LOL, sorry I didn't mean to get long winded
