Well after filling the differential with fluid and then the trans, I found that the trans had a leak where the tailshaft bolts up to the main body. Never would have guess that but she had to come out and that's not any fun! So, off to the shop for gaskets and I figured while it's there get a full inspection of the internals. The mechanic said it looks like new inside and very low miles, so no rebuild needed. Gaskets won't be in until Monday so I'll have to wait.
I decided to get the front end aligned as close as possible while the trans is gone and I didn't like how that turned out. After taking the rack and pinion off several times to get the steering wheel centered and tires straight it sure seems like the subframe mounts for the rack are off to one side a half inch or more. I had to tighten one tie rod end up all the way and adjust the other to get it set. It's been a rough week as far as car progress goes. The enemy sure likes to find a weak spot and camp on it. This to shall pass!
I ordered a Diablo Program Tuner for the engine and it will be in next week.
