Yes.

Recently had to have the lower oil pan replaced when a shop doing an oil change stripped the threads.

They were all tightend up again.

I have developed another issue though.

Not sure but I think a CV Joint on the power wheel is weak.


when changing speeds I get a real loud "BANG" like two unequally rotating parts catching each other...

Really seriously loud when reversing...

put it in reverse, let out the clutch and when I begin accelerating there is a horribly loud BANG.

Going into a shop tomorrow to put it on a lift.
Going to drain and fill the transmission and talk about my differential input seal leak.

Saturday I found a big puddle of fluid under it and pulled out to examine it... I looked under the car and saw fluid dripping ,streaming out.

Had enough time to get it over to a valvoline Instant Oil change shop where they topped it off and packed the input seal with grese which has kept it from leaking.

may end up swapping the diff which dropped out of my other 540 over...

that would probably entail having that car towed to this shop and we could set about dismantling it and letting the body go for scrap.. RIP # WBAHE5328SGAA64425
