i bought a hydro ex trans and when i took my stock one out i realized the one i bought from
pike honda had a lil hole in it. i was convinced i did not have an ex trans because the ratios seemed high but i realized i was wrong when i drove it with the trans i bought. i jbed up the hole and it still is not leaking but thought it was because the axle was not in all the way so i decided today to put my stock one back and set a record 30 mins to get it off by myself. needless to say i have an ex trans fs now.
