Any chance we could get something written up for the "How-To" section?It was highly complex. I don't know if it's a job for the layperson.
I will say that the new cap seals a whole lot better and doesn't require me to stop the BTTF theme when I pull over to gas up.

Adjusted the tension on my A/C belt. I used the write-up Ozzie and others put together in James' thread and it was super simple. Started the car and it all fired up quite nicely. The snow bank behind the car has almost melted enough to back the car out of the garage.

Installed a new steering rack from DMCMW (awesome!) and put the upgraded sway bar kit from DPNW. HUGE difference!! My rack was totally shot.

Preparation for first long cruise to PNDC TechSession on Saturday
(Happened already two days ago but had no time to write)
Visited my friend Dave (sdg3205) and let my sweet VIN 3922 fly (put it on stands off the ground).
- Crouched underneath to check where the ATF leaks came from.
- Tightened the screws around the automatic transmission oil pan a bit more (carefully to not break the new gasket).
- Noticed a small leak at the oil light switch on the engine. (Damn!)
- Upper transmission cooling pipe/hose is "sweating" ATF (hoseclamp fix did not work)
- Fired off an email to Toby from DMC NW
We then put 3922 back on its wheels and went for an evening cruise in convoy with Dave's 3205. Nice evening after all!

If it is still leaking ATF, a spot that was leaking on my car last season was the seal around the bottom of the dipstick tube. It snugs into a hole on the topside of the pan and has an o-ring or two to seal it. There is also a small piece of the dipstick tube acting as a bracket that lets you bolt the bottom in place. Mine had never been a problem until I left the front jacked up in the air for a few days and with the cold temps in my garage, I think the ATF started to seep past the seal.
Glad you guys in BC are getting your summer car season weather!!
