[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 381217, member: 16518"] Johnny - I should have explained more. The o-ring went under a metal plate that went under the impeller and around the drive shaft.. There was a spot for it and it was not there previously, but a new one came with the kit. I'm assuming the previous owner either misplaced it or was just an idiot. The old gear oil came out white. Which is why I wanted to be super sure of the new stuff. I changed it once already, ran it for about 10 minutes, and then drained it immediately. I've never dealt with gear oil before, I've never had to change a rear end in a truck or anything. Which is why I asked here, I wanted to be super sure what came out looked right. It looked right to me, but I'd hate to grenade a $1000 motor because I didn't know. [/QUOTE]
