Well I got it all fixed today.
I went to the International dealer in Charlotte for a second opinion. It was there that I found out that the noise was being caused by the wrong ride height, It was set at 10" and was supposed to be 12 1/2".
So those mechanics that install tranny's actually wasted thier time by replacing the first tranny,..because it made the same exact noise the second one did. A simple phone call could have told them the ride height, and that whole thing could have been avoided.
I bought a new height valve and put it in today.

The air leak was coming from a gasket between a cast cover and the tranny that has a bunch of hoses going to it. It was losing air quick (it would drain my tanks in 30 minutes),..and now its back to normal. I kept telling them I heard an air leak,..but they just wouldn't believe me untill I sprayed the whole tranny with soapy water and WALLA bubbles.

The oil leak was coming from a cracked cast cover just left of the output shaft. When they took it off,..one of the four ears broke off,..so that is fixed also.

The speedo was simply set wrong,.the tech admitted to not setting it properly during the install. The sending unit needed to be screwed in untill it stopped and then backed out 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

When I first got there the owner pulled an attitude with me. I asked him to go outside,..then I punched him in the face and all went well after that.
At least that how I expected it to happen :lol:
He was a dick at first,....but after a short talk he saw things my way and understood that these things needed to be fixed, and it was his responsibility to complete the repairs.

So now the Dog is back in money making mode,...I sure spent enough during the last two weeks!!
