No Title
hey hey *****es. So im back with a whole knew set of issues...
Update: Swapped trans- Complete.
Have one issue... seems that there is a leak coming from Dip stick. I changed dipstick on swap. I didnt see a oring or anything. I assume, its a bolt and vacuum thing. but after i drive and fluid is warm, ill fill to full. Drive as needed. and park. next morning.. oil all under car.. from dipstick area.
Im thinking RTV around the dip stick will cover this issuse.. but obv thats not prop fix.. Tell me what that is...
Next : Thanks To BillBooost i found out my supercharger snout was junk./\ changed that out, Sounds much much better.
THE REAL ISSUE: iv had this issue almost since day one or at least since i realized that my car can run better.
Cheat sheet says: Shotfuel trim is -.8 @0 mph
longfuel trim -.8 @o mph
When in park and rev. everything sounds great.
When driving and hit gas. sounds like air is being let out just as fast as the supercharger can push it it....
What would cause that sound/issue? When changed the super charger. i also left old TB and sensor's. And changed bbv to one already on car.. Only changed Snout and case. everything left as what car already had on.
I do have way more issues. but these id like looked at ASAP.
Thank is advance to anyone with half a brain on these subjects.

Re: No Title
There should be a "top hat" seal in there. Looks something like this:
Don't use silicone. It's a $2 part.

Re: My 2 GTP's...Let the Jorney Begin...
I'll bet it's not the seal. I bet when you were moving the transmissions around the dipstick tube took a bit of a beating and where it's welded to the bracket, one of the welds tore a hole.
Tonight might work if you are around.

Re: My 2 GTP's...Let the Jorney Begin...
the dip stick is almost new. I took it from a different trans, and i forgot to put the dip stick in when i had trans out of car. so right befor i put cradle all the way back up i reached in and slowly tighten that 10mm bolt. i really haven't seen anything about that "top hat" seal anywhere. I do know i didn't see one from either trans. So i never looked for it.

Hey I'm down with the inlays since that bumper is all black. It needs some touch ups, looks like. The exhaust tip is the 800 pound gorilla standing quietly in the room, lol.

This is what a hat seal looks like, by the way. Like Abe Lincoln's stovepipe hat. Not what you see if you just google hat seal! I know TurboHydramatics used them, maybe 65Es do too. Where the dipstick tube enters the trans.

Re: My 2 GTP's...Let the Jorney Begin...
Alright time for work...
Can you tell this car sit more than i run it.... Been moved once in two months. Started almost Bi weekly... But thats about to change.
I started with changeing my sway bar to one my buddy re-wraped and welded with some **** and painted.. al for free... what a good guy
After the new sway bar with installed i went to work with the Axles.. God dam Rockauto sent out the wrong axle.. looks to be a gt/base model and i know i asked for the GTP model and lucky for me i had already order another pair from rock atuo a few months befor for my girls car... guess i will take those and see how they work.. They were mint. I now have to send back two axles to rock auto and not happy about that. esp since they have always been right with my part till now.. and the only got the passenger side wrong.
Holy crap was it so hard to get the ball joints out.. even with the pick from auto zone. took me about 20 mins a side... thats way to long! thing keeps hits the ball joint bolts. but after jacking the ball joint up i got the angle i needed and was no issues... to bad i learned that on the second one.
Here is new axle, hub and sway bar!!!

Re: My 2 GTP's...Let the Jorney Begin...
Also did have the back half cradle off to install new sway bar and i have that awful leak at the dip stick from the worn "top hat"
I installed the new top hat. but not sure if everything works yet....
cant see it.. but if you know what your looking at.. youll see where the oil cleaned the path straight out the dip stick

Re: My 2 GTP's...Let the Jorney Begin...
After i was able to get that all done... I obv was thinking to go for a ride.. I was thinking the battery was dead.(even thou auto zone said it was fine. And every light had worked)..battery is fine. i think.. looks like the god dam starter is ****. I try to turn the car over and all i hear is click.. click.. I have not messed with this starter at all... I have had a ford in my past that had a good starter but made the same sound because its was grounded.. i really hope that it not this issues because i will be changing the starters next weekend.
