I have a few questions on my 95 4.3 LX Gen II outdrive, since I have my 4.3 out at the machine shop now I figured I would tackle going through the outdrive as when I drained the outdrive oil it was a "chocolate milkshake" :blue: Anyway I ordered all my parts bellows kit with new gimbal bearing, impeller gear kit with new housing and plate, new sierra trim senders, I had a question on the "milkshake" that was everywhere it was inside the u joint bellows when I took the outdrive off now does that mean the u joint yoke seal is toast? I am racking my brain trying to think of where else it could come from and cannot think of anywhere else, I did not pressure test the upper or lower since I decided I was going to replace the seals, I seperated the upper and lower drives and I noticed there was no O-ring in the passage where the oil goes from the lower to the upper! none whatsoever! could this be the reason for the "milkshake"? Looks like I will have to order the tool to get the u joint yoke out of the upper so I can do the yoke seal.
