gear oil from speedo cable
#3

4wd or 2wd?
id say 1 fo 3 possible
1; the transmission vents are blocked (the 5sp ties to a transfer case vent then up to behind engine a vent cap and nothing. beyond here, this is the high water mark. there./
2: the transmission is overfilled (which ever the cable fits. 2wd or 4wd)_
3: or someone greased
the cable. by hand, using a wrong grease or poor quality that turns to oil.
i guess #1

cheers.

Any ideas most welcome.

2 WD model. Grease drained refilled by myself to just barely below full. Did so in case wrong grease was used, or the like.This was 2 months after issue started. Had truck 2 years and first year no issue. Cable not been serviced since purchased. Assuming no vent on 2WD.
