hey all

we got the trans up today and all electrical stuff hooked up. We cranked it initially to get the oil circulating. Only to discover oil is not circulating. I pulled the oil press sensor out and only a couple drops came out. We cranked it with it out and no oil came out...Is this the proper way to see if there is oil press? is there another way? thanks! man....we're REALLY discouraged...

 

did you check your oil level, is the sump in the oil pan clogged/not put back ???

 

Engine oil, lots of it, should come out. Something is wrong.
- you removed the wrong sensor
- there is no oil in the sump
- the oil pump is broken
- the oil pump pressure relief valve is stuck open
- the oil pickup is broken or clogged

 

Oil pump??

 

hummm
well, i know i removed the right sensor. We're gonna look in the pan to check the sump. The pressure relief valve is on the oil pump right? i know its ALOT of work to get to that pump....man this sucks!

 

You might say it is in the oil pump. For further information please refer to the Chilton repair manual (page 3-39) or the Haynes repair manual (page 2B-18).
