Pull the pan, and you'll end up rebuilding the engine
I think I broke it already

Since it has less than 1500 miles on it, that's very doubtful.
No idea why you'd post such a thing.
This is shama a lamba. Drain the oil rough up the area clean off with solvert. JB weld for the season, and drive it. In the off season fix it.
Let the criticism begin.

Shama a whaaa?
Never worked with a lift.
Gee Bee it was just a suggestion but if it's wham bam job on a lift.
Must confess never pulled a pan in the car.
I'm tackling this job in the next few weekends. My oil pan gasket leaks are bugging me. Never tackled this myself either and no lift for me. I believe you just unbolt the idler and Pittman, pull the dipstick and pull the pan.Never worked with a lift.

Always thought you needed to jack the engine a little because of oil pickup? This from the guy who never did it.

Quick Robin, to the FSM!! 
Drop the center link and you can snake the pan out without jacking the motor up. I did it with a deep sump pan with windage tray so I know it will work with a stock setup.

Long day. GTX has been in the shop all day. Even though the clutch has less than 400 miles on it (Centerforce Dual Friction), the flywheel looked like heck and got resurfaced; I'm starting to doubt that clutch.
I was gone more than half the day working; back here now and trying to stay out the way, watching him struggle with things like I have in the past.
God, I hope this works....I really, really need for this to work.

Drove her back home in the #^%$#$% rain this evening....carefully.
That might have been the first time the wipers have ever been on while I've owned it.
Oh almost forgot - she drove fine for the couple miles to the house.
Zero noise, shifted beautifully like always.
A more extensive test drive to come once this freaking storm finally gets the hell out of here, but for now,
she's safe and sound in the garage.
I wound up doing quite a bit of the work in order to help him get it done so he could go home.
He was a real trooper and hung in there.
It's been a long day.

Heck no. All we could do to get the thing back together as it is.
So you tested the rebuilt transmission, wiper motor, wipers and windshield gasket all at once? Sounds like fun lol. I'm sure the 4 speed will be fine from here on out. Glad you got it rebuilt, and you saved money by sending the broke one back for a refund.

Hey thanks, I didn't think of it that way. I guess it was a test of sorts for wipers and such, eh?
Yeah, Passon is being honorable about the whole thing.
I hope you're right about this transmission. Damn things weigh a ton, tired of wrasslin' them for a while.

When WE were 20, they didn’t weigh near as much did they? Lol.
