Subject:Trans/Diff Seals Temp Question
From:Peter T. Owsianowski
Date:Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:58:23 -0500

How cold is too cold?

Temps for Saturday high of 32F.  Plan on sealing up the trans/diff for the
'87. I have an unheated barn where the trans and differential are now and
also an unheated garage.  The garage is attached to the house, so it is a
bit warmer.  I need to seal the transmission pan, differential and have all
other gaskets, filter and seals to apply.

If I ran a kerosene tube in the garage, could probably get it to 50.  I'm
sure these parts are sensitive to temps and don't want to have anything
leak.

Thanks for any info.
