Warmed up, idling too fast
#11
Thank you for your great posts and info! I will peruse and see what fixes. Radiator is way down, and I sure hope what I thought was rain in the floorboard isn't my heater core blown out again. Doesn't smell like it, but I DEFINITELY have a coolant leak somewhere.

I'd driven this thing first big excursion (80 miles round trip) in a while, and it made it back but I had that feeling something was up. Next time out, began the weird.

I am fairly sure I used GL4 oil, but it is one that lacks meeting one of the weight numbers of the original spec. Only option I had at the time. I will check on the Pennzoil.

I tried to do the trans best I could at the time, given the lack of money and experience. Has new clutch and cable, but I do not trust that cable, it seems "off", compared to the factory one I had in there prior, despite being claimed to be a Beck Arnley.

Trans guy up the road said when I described the situation to him (was working on my sister's Explore) that my 5th gear ls "spalled", since ran low that time, will have to just tolerate the noise, or find another one (I never could). Said happens to Honda 5th gears a lot too.


This quote is gold: "nature hates a vacuum (on earth only)" Smile

Thanks again for your input! Smile Should know something more about the situation by end of day.
