need help - where is the fill plug on my rear end?

[guest]

On my car you dirty pigs

90 LX 8.8 rear
I am doing a search but I can't find it exactly. Is it a bolt that you use just a wratchet on with no socket?
I looked at the rear and the only thing I think might be the filler plug is on the pass. side of the housing, is this right?

thanks for any help.

Smells good too, I bet.

I could never stand the smell of gear lube.

[portponies]

If you want, you could swing over and blast the cover before you paint it.

[portponies]

No problem. The offer's always open for the blast cabinet. Todd's used it a few times already.

[Kirk]

Smells almost as good as ATF. :D

[Kirk]

What color?

[Kirk]

Of course. Next best color after Red. :D

See, you should have picked up a new rear cover with a drain and fill plug right on it. Then there is no need to take the cover off.
If your posi is failing and you just want a cheap swap, I still have my stock one with rebuilt clutches laying in the basement. Make an offer if interested.

I just finished the tear-down on the '87's axle.

Wayne, when it comes time to re-assemble it I'll let you know and you can assist me with the gear install.

Yeh, I didn't think of getting a new cover. But on the bright side, the rear makes no noise and lays down not 1 but 2 stripes! lol
In spring I'll be getting the 3.73's put in so maybe I'll go with the new cover then.

i got a BRAND NEW Trickflow aluminum cover for sale.... $130..

Actually, It would work better(posi) if you didn't add friction modifier

[Kool Rock Steady]

what you read about the clutches is true. However if they are slipping then no f.m. would help them as to not slipping. If it's working then great.

[portponies]

Fritz - I would really like to help with the gear install and see what it all entails, I just hope you do it when I am off of work.


I'm sure that can be arranged. I am shooting on getting it back together before Christmas so once it's all cleaned and ready to go, we'll work around your schedule. :thumbs_up

[Kool Rock Steady]

Kool, thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

BTW, looks like you've been busy in the arcade...lol


Na, just not really high scores yet on some new games. Wait till I take the record back in the mario game.. :D Hear that pizza man?
