Well. On top of my car being broke ATM. I was admitted to the hospital after my morning surgery because my knee got infefected. Yeaaaaaa. Not doin to well haha.

Omly thing about the freeze plugs is that I unfortunately don't have a lift. If it is the plug I might get a lightened flywheel and clutch. Might as well if I have to go internal.

As for the leak, better mm? lol, I wad under the car looking for leaks in the hoses and I didn't see anything.

I would check the hoses first...the odds of a freeze plug failure are way lower than the hose failure

Why is everyone calling it a freeze plug? The actual term of those plugs are expansion plugs.

Whatever they are wherever. Plz don't thread crap. I really want to get this fixed and like I said I look at all the hoses and they all seem fine.

Like I said when I add the fluid it drains right through the tranny

No one's thread crapping. Read what people posted. Expansion plug. Google it.

expansion plug and freeze plug is the same, just different people call for a different name. You know when water freeze it expand that's why it got two names.

Expansion plug is the proper name for it; freeze plug is its nickname.

It's like referring to the power plant of the car. Some people call it a motor, and others call it an engine and engine is the correct term.

Anyways. What other options do i have?
I meen if I were under the car and didn't see leaky hose it's prob not a hose so idk

take the starter off and use a Extech Video Borescope Inspection Camera and see if it leak from the expansion plug.

the hos that would be the culprit is in the back of the engine on the pass side. you need to remove the plastic intake manifolds in order to get to it. you will not be able to see if unless you have those components removed.

This could be it. But I can't work on my car for A while. Dr is extending my disability and I will be in this damn Hospital for a few more Days at least.

They are waiting on th infected culture to see exactly what mend I need to to take.

blamerobb

Shady. How do u know about this hose? Did urs blow?

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

No I rebuilt my engine...

This hose connects to the lower portion of the TB.

It runs from the rear of the engine next to the bell housing under the manifolds and pops into the lower TB.

I thought it is that hose at first, but after seeing his pic from the tranny I totally rule it out I have both of those broke on my FC, the hose will not get coolant into the tranny.

there is a pic i attach, which you could see that hoserunning from the back of the engine.

Thanks

take it off to see if its the hose first before you go buying **** you dont need... no point in that.

the coolant would need to do some real interesting **** to get from the pass side to the drivers side

blamerobb

Still haven't been able tear into Roxanne :/
I'm on bed rest ATM. I hope I'll be able to make it to 7stock

blamerobb

soooooo i ripped into the 8 on saturday and took off the uim and checked all the hoses up top. everything looked fine. so, with the uim off and tb and all that off, i pored water into the radiator reservoir and it came right out of the tranny, again. the car wasn't even on!, it just goes right from the reservoir out the tranny hole......! i have no idea what to do?

is the hole its leaking from even supposed to be there?

blamerobb

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

Do you have any friends with a shop?

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

Or know of any shops in your area that will let us rent the lift. I'll do the labor for free. It's doable without a lift I just don't feel like hassling with it.
