Re: screamer

My xmission (Borg-Warner Velvet) uses ATF but my Walter V-Drive uses 30W oil. Not much that can be done to mine in the boat, it sounds like a bearing has died. Maybe its got ATF where it should have got oil? (ouch!)

Re: screamer

it makes no diferance if its in or out of the water,I hook up the hose to the water pump and it makes the loop through the V drive to cool.
