    M35A2 Transmission Fluid Change

    Thank you both for the information.. I suppose there is a chance I did not hear the mechanic correctly and maybe he did mention 85/90 for Transmission. Ugh, I hope I am not ruining my transmission. Maybe I should drain it again and out 85/90 in it. Even by doing my own googling I see same...

    M35A2 Transmission Fluid Change

    From a local repairman who has “experience” with these vehicles he mentioned I should use 85/140 Travelers Gear Oil for Transmission, Transfer Case, Gear Box and Axles. I am in Arizona and I wonder if that’s too wide a range?

    Transfer Case Shifter Hard to put in High

    hello it is a 72 M35A2. Really I only notice this is when I first turn it on and let it warm up. I usually start off in high gear range but like I said when I first move it into high I have to force it. Coming out of high to neutral or low is buttery smooth . Only hard from neutral to high...

    Transfer Case Shifter Hard to put in High

    Hello From the neutral setting I find it pretty stiff to push the lever into High Gears but it does go. Back to neutral and from neutral to low is buttery smooth. Is there a grease fitting for this down below or is this not uncommon? The vehicle runs and performs as should it’s simply the rough...

    M35A2 Transmission Fluid Change

    Hello! Alright so I have looked at several threads in regards to what fluid to use when changing my Transmission fluid and really all it did was confuse me more. Mainly because of the vast opinions of what I should use! I understand there are a lot of factors and also a lot of personal...

    M35A2 “Tick Tick Tick Tick” from Transmission

    I went to Lowe’s and it did it between 2nd-5th even while driving and also neutral as I slowed down (I assume because it was still winding down) but not in idle at a stop. On the drive home it stopped. Which I won’t classify as anything. It made the noise and when I have my day off I will do as...

    M35A2 “Tick Tick Tick Tick” from Transmission

    As far as I can tell; From a 2 day off. Turned it on and let it warm up just enough. Drove it for 10-15 mins or so with zero noise drove like a charm. When it got warm it began... like a with tickA tickA from underneath shifter area... Clutch pedal fine, shifts fine. I hear the noise while in...

    M35A2 “Tick Tick Tick Tick” from Transmission

    Thank you . I apologize I still have not checked it yet got home late and was a bit overwhelmed. the replacement of the front crank seal was a nightmare and I became an Alcoholic because of it. But now no leaks so I’m pleased. I am hoping this noise was a glitch but when I start it I’ll log...

    M35A2 “Tick Tick Tick Tick” from Transmission

    I can not say for sure if it is at idle. When I get home tonight after work I will try to recreate it and notice when the noise begins and what not. Top cover of transmission? Aside from where the transmission obviously is, how would I get to that position to remove and check? Would it be in the...

    M35A2 “Tick Tick Tick Tick” from Transmission

    Hello! first I want to mention I’ve not heard a single noise from transmission area (in cab) since I got it. I took it off road into the mountains and didn’t exceed 15 mph or ever get out of 2nd in High. I left it in high because some areas was a smooth faster drive. Anyway there were a LOT of...

    Does M35A2 Speedometer Cable send fluid?

    I ask because my gauge stopped working. I went to where it connects under the vehicle and sure enough the key broke off from the cable. I connected it back for now and began taking it apart from the gauge side... With the idea I was going to replace the whole thing, I cut the end of it at the...

    hello sorry for the delay work has been hell. the only thing I added was, what I believe, was the correct mixture of Stanadyne treatment as I filled up the tank. That is the only thing that has changed. believe it or not at 40 I still have never made a YouTube account. But now I know 8)

    ‘72 M35A2 dripping Oil front end, bottom of Engine

    hello So after sitting for two days I turned her on. Turned right on, one quick puff of blackish smoke then by the time it’s fully warmed (well 5 mins or so) it’s blowing no smoke and runs smooth. I checked the oil and radiator fluid and I truly see nothing wrong on that front. After I drove it...

    ‘72 M35A2 dripping Oil front end, bottom of Engine

    it’s not flowing by any means and when vehicle is off it doesn’t leak so I assume only under pressure. I will mention this... I have noticed an unusual amount of white smoke lately. When it sits idle I see no smoke at all but every time I change gear or especially from a stop and go it’s cloud...

    ‘72 M35A2 dripping Oil front end, bottom of Engine

    Hello I did not have any cleaner but I cleaned what I could with shop towels. Took it for a casual drive and when I got back, same oil leak. As you say the top side is completely dry and the only wet I see is at the seal by the 2 front pan bolts (seems freakin right when I just tried them). But...

    I drove it again to take pictures of how the oil drips, if that helps. Between the 2 front pan bolts are the 2 drips

    ‘72 M35A2 dripping Oil front end, bottom of Engine

    Hello this is the first time my vehicle has dropped any oil of any kind anywhere. I took it for a drive and will admit I was rough with it as it has sat for a month. Now I did wait after 30 minutes driving temp around 160, Oil Pressure 30 at idle and 55 or so driving. As I approached the front...
