I did a little work on the 982 I got the Wed before Thanksgiving. Cleaned up the hydro pump, repaired the neutral safety switch that was bypassed and broken, and snugged up the bolts on the left side axle tube which was leaking. Everything on the top side is clean and dry and the leak seems to be coming from the left axle tube. After I snugged up the bolts everything was dry for a week or so, but when I fired her up to test the NSS, there was hydro fluid on the rear the next day. So, before I remove the rear end, does anyone have any suggestions? Do the bolt holes go thru the housing, or are they not exposed to the hyrdo fluid? Any help would be appreciated. I want to change the fluids, but am not going to replace the Hy(cost)tran if it's going to be on the floor. As always, thanks!
