It could be the tension too.

...a new blade can require you to reset upper and lower guides and tensioning on ww bandsaws. Dunno about metal ones per se (wish I had the room for one), but that's where I'd start.

Yessir I did, I made double sure cause it's the first blade I've gotten for it. I think ill have to get a different blade tomorrow and see if it makes a difference

Most recommend them at 6" of lift and up, however i have them at 4.5-5" of lift and love them. I dont really need the drop brackets, but had them and used them.

Would ATF sitting in a non -running vehicle turn color or break down?

Got my 91 running, had to swap out a trans line, and when I did the fluid coming out was slightly watery and looked milky.

I'm going to drain and refill before I actually run it. But what would cause it?

Lol st. Pattys day ATF it was definitely pink.

Would it being outside in the winter be enough to get water in? Like condensation?

I just don't understand how it got in there.

Changing the line was because I ****ed up thee quick connect fitting, it wasn't leaking or anything.

You're SYE shopping but don't even know what a stock slip yoke looks like? Why are you looking for an SYE?



Top: Novak's Super Short SYE
Middle: Standard SYE with double-cardan shaft
Bottom: stock configuration

Hmm not sure. It SHOULD be sealed. Got a leak somewhere? Or maybe a crack up top allowing water in but not fluid out

Hope to hell there isn't a crack up top... that'd stink. I can't say I don't because I haven't looked. Lol

The lines did sit for a loooong time disconnected. But I wrapped em in layers of contractors plastic and taped them up. Guess enough moisture got in there over the years time somehow.
