Good news and bad news:
Good News...I have a working Parking Brake, a working speedometer, and no TC output shaft leaks. I also have new 90w in the transmission and TC and a totally clean and lubed rear driveshaft.
Bad News...My parking brake pads must be rubbing because the parking drum was REALLY HOT after just a short 3 mile drive. And, my speedo bounces a little and is off by about 6 MPH at 50. At 50mph, my speedo says around 43 or 44. I wonder if a PO put the wrong driven gear in, or if the diffs have been changed at some point?
Do you think if I just adjust the parking brake pads out to where the brake just barely works it will allow it to not rub? And then eventually adjust it tighter? I adjusted it like I would the wheel drums where I had a slight rub on the pads but the drum still spun. I'll mess with it and get back...I would assume the drum should be warm to the touch after driving, but not scalding?
