If I could go past the full line by one pint that would be sweet, because I have an ongoing axle seal leak.

OK, but what I'm getting at here is many of you guys tell a person with their crankcase overfilled by the dealer not to worry about it. Does the same hold true for transmissions?

GM 4T65E Dipstick says : ADD 1 PINT------>| XXXXXXX | What would be considered overfilled? Do these transmissions spring a leak if they're too full?

Count me in. The Buick 3800 V6 is one of my all-time favorite engines.

I haven't had to deal with those in a long time since I've had AdBlock.

I have a full set on my car. Love them.

What kind of car was it that had the GM 3.2L in there? By your comments, I assume it was RWD.

I've used the Dow-Corning 111 on slide pins. I usually keep it laying around for o-rings and for my Dramm brass hose nozzle. One day I was doing brakes and I grabbed it because that's all I had on hand at the time. The brakes don't seem to mind it, but there might be something better out...

Wait a minute.... a flood? You mean the toilet ran over and flooded the house?

I took a Wix XP apart and was very impressed by the construction. It looks like a filter that will never collapse ever.
