Well I took out my transmission, brought it to a friend who I work with who owns a transmision shop, He Rebuilt it and installed a shiftkit, boosted the line pressure, and put on a new billet torque converter. When i Got it back I installed it drove it about 300 miles and brought it to him, and he checked the fluids, and there was a white paste on the end of the dipstick.. Water?
So he realized he messed up by leaving the transmission outside on cart while waiting for me to come pick it up, and while it was outside, he went out to grab a lunch and it downpoured. So as he got back to shop he moved it inside, and thought nothing of it until now seeing that white paste on the dipstick, When we noticed the white paste or water we changed the oil, figuring a little bit of water got in through the dipstick hole. Now a week later I just went on a 400 mile trip next state over and back, and checked the fluid again, and its back. But worse. theres more of it then the first time, and it seems to be built up inside the dipstick tube as well.
Where is this water coming from?
Im thinking condensation, but this much, that fast? I did lengthen the Breather air tubes for the transmission and transfer case up into the engine compartment ziptied to the dipstick tube for offroad purposes.
This is a 2005 Jeep Grand cherokee with the 5.7L Hemi. K&N cold air ntake, Custom Catback magnaflow, Mickey thomspon wheels..
Thanks for any thoughts
