JohnZ Mar 31st, 02, 03:11 PM Definitely - if you look in the Service Manual, it tells you to pack the cavity between the end of the pinion splines and the companion flange with a non-hardening sealer (like Permatex Type A) before installing the washer and nut; if you don't, you'll get leakage through the splines. ------------------ JohnZ CRG '69 Z28 Fathom Green |
