Had some time to start with the transmission removal this weekend. I noticed then that for some reason (broken clip/bracket? ) the return oil line/hose to the transmission was laying on the exhaust headers (at least 1 feet). Could this be the reason of the malfunctioning, slipping 3rd, that the transmission was overheated ?
If so, could fixing the oil rubber hose location,and change of oil and filter be enough, or is the damage already permanent on the front clutch ? I guess so
