Wanna see something nasty? What shouldn't be in a transaxle?

Well, thats the goopy grey crap that was filling the bottom 1/3 of my old
transaxle. Just goes to show ya what salt water IN the transaxle will do
for you. I scooped out a BIG handfull of it before I snapped the picture...
well I scrubbed up first, didn't want to get my camera all nasty...lol

Pulled the old transaxle today and took off the axle tubes and one of the
side covers... What a mess. Actually the transaxle came out in about an
hour or so, so it wasn't that bad pulling it. Now to get things cleaned up
and get the new transaxle in. Then I will get on the task of re-wiring the
car and cleaned up then finally to put in the new engine.... so many things
to do, so little time. But I'm sure there are those who like to follow
progress... so more pics to come.

ok i got the clutch issue worked out, now to clean everything up and start
to get the transaxle backing the car. But first I want to get everything
clean. I got some POR-15 and I am going to do the underside of the luggage
tray and some other places while I have everything out. Then I will do the
floor boards. I can't pull the whole car apart right now, but it would be
nice to get it back in to tip top shape. that's going to have to wait. But
atleast the whole engine/drive line will be new.
