Search is your friend.

(yes, others have had problems)

is it possible that a bad final drive can leak oil uphill to the boot?

eh....

Not sure I'm following you.

A picture would be worth a thousand words.

the boot , the rubber thing of which i speak of is uphill from the final drive , is it possible that oil is traveling uphill , or are they saying that the final drive is knocking out the seal in the torsion dampner housing. getting info from dealership is like pulling teeth. if it cant travel uphill then they need to replace both final drive and seal in the tosion dampner housing , am i correct or are you gonna give me annother smartass remark. as far as search goes , i have tried that i must be ****ing stupid cause i type in final drve and get anywhere from tire problems to to grip problems so please enlightin me on how to use search.

rm, if you come out to the Smokey Mountains a week earlier you can meet up with about 20+ other Rockets in Maggie Valley, NC. Go to the Before Events forum and look for the Rocket Launch thread.
