wtf? please take a look at this pic... (need your help)
k, need your guys opinions on this! sold this guy my engine and tranny (DOHC ZC and Si tranny). he has the **** put in by his shop, finally gets it running and he "ran drove ok...for 5 min...but then hit a bump under gas and boom clutch gone...nothing just slippage...pulled like a rapped ape but thn clutch let loose..." (this was on an AOL IM) he also said that he smelt no burning clutch... so anyway he is pulling the tranny right now and this is what he sees when he pulls the drain plug on the tranny (the pic)....need your guys opinions!!! thanks

what the **** is that stuff?!
sure as **** dosent look like MTF or oil. i think the tranny let go, not the clutch.
he needs to call that shop ASAP
keep us updated on what it is.

Maybe they charged the brakes with 10w30 and put brake fluid in the tranny. That sure as hell isn't an oil-product draining out. I assume by "milkshake" he means there's a precipitate (**** floating in it) of some sort in the liquid. Ask him to smell it and...if he dares...taste it. Need more info if we're gunna help.

its defenalty not 10w30.
If thats whats comming out of the tranny than tell him to buy a new tranny, because its gone.
So, this is what i gathered from you.
He (the current owner) watched the shop putting oil into the tranny, why would they put oil in the tranny unless they drained it ??? so, the question goes out to the guy who did the swap, why did he drained the tranny, maybe he did as safety precausion. Because i can't check the oil level in a tranny on a manual car. So the fault goes to the shop. Tell him to ask the shop, why were they putting oil in the tranny in the first place.
Even if the guy did put fresh oil, its impossible that it would look like that, after a day of driving.
