    Stripped torque converter less then 1 year after rebuild ???

    Well did 150 miles yesterday..Trany went OK I'm not used to lock-up, before rebuild never had lock-up, but it's OK just have to get used to it.

    Changing steering gear box ... special tool for P.S. lines???

    Actually, didn't notice any change. Steering wasn't the issue, I blew a seal in the box and fluid was poring out the pitman arm. I mean it's a 93 with about 185 K miles on it so it was a little loose. The new box didn't change a thing but there's a lot of other joints that wear for loosness...

    Changing steering gear box ... special tool for P.S. lines???

    I got a 93 X and I’m down, is there a special tool or what tool should I use to get the 2 fluid lines off. I got a brake wrench but don’t have any room to use it also the wrench is 5/8 but seems just a little sloppy is it a metric size. I think I’m good on the rest, I got the set bolt out of...

    Steering gear box leaking...How much $$$ to repair.

    Thanks Brian, that eases my pain a little and gives me some ammo for the shop. So you don't think they have to pull the box. Is that space above the Pitman Arm normal. It just looks to me that the arm dropped a bit. Would a bad seal cause that drop or is maybe something else worn. I do, do...

    Hey I got a leaking steering gear box at the pitman arm on my 93 X. This doesn't look like something I want to tackle on my own in the driveway on my back. Anyone got some ideas what I mite expect to pay in a shop. Seems to me you can get a new box for about $150.00 and don’t really know how...
