    The grinding noise ended up being an oil leak going into the trans. Replaced the o ring and she’s running well.

    Hopefully we can put this behind us now.

    And this is why I don’t trust mechanics. No one’s gonna take responsibility on that bolt.


    I really am glad you got it fixed but #### man, a simple 10 min fix is now 2 months from what I gather?

    Its an oil leak......

    Trans oil leaks by the splitter piston o-ring and makes its way up the shifter air lines and causes delayed shift.
