So I have has my 1999 f23 5sp for a couple months now and put about 2k miles on it. I drive it a little hard a few times a week. I'll take it to 6k rpm every other day or so. Today I drained and flushed the oil. Put seafoam I the oil. Drove to wal mart and back. Drained it. Poured in super tech high mileage oil. Ran it for 5 minutes and drained it again. Oil came out dark the second time. The. I put in some full synthetic and a new filter.
While I was down there I figured I'll wipe down the road grime and grease and oil build up on the tranny. To my surprise the case has some cracking.
My temporary fix is gonna be a lot of two part epoxy and some fiberglass mat. Drain the tranny fluid. Decrease the case. Scuff the case so the epoxy will adhere and smear that crap all over with fiberglass mat and layer more epoxy over that. I can't afford a new transmission until next summer.
Anyone ever see anything like this before?
