tranny noise
Sooo I was heading down the freeway doing 60mph towing M105A2 trailer I just picked up off craigs list when I start to hear a kinda bearing noise, not sure where its coming from so I pull over and start to check things out, not leaking any fluids that I can see no obviouse drips so I wait until traffic is clear I take off on the shoulder of the freeway in 2nd gear and noise is still there go to 3rd and it gets a little louder so I called a wrecker got towed home and started looking for the noise I found that my trans was blowing oil out the breather tube I think, there is a rubber hose that comes from what looks like the top of trans and is secured to about a 4" hard line bolted to the back of engine tranny oil blown all over trans and exhaust, pull filler plug cannot touch oil , pop right side pto cover and drain a little more than a quart of oil out 3 quarts short and oil is got glitter in it and fine stuff in the bottom of trans, not sure what to do next just replace nv4500, upgrade to a 6 speed or try to rebuild this myself, what is everyones opinion, are these hard to rebuild, thanks for any imput Eddie.
