Hi all,
What's the upper oil level in the 31/32 U-joint housing - top or in the middle of the speedometer gear ?
Thanks
Have a nice day

I know that, because you have mentioned the quantity of oil (600) in a threat a few couples of weeks ago, but again : 1 ) Based on your know how and technical understanding - to what hight will a half pint fill up the housing ? 2 ) Isn't it not necessary to lubricate not only the jokes but also the speedometer gears and the shaft ? last but not least : Thanks for showing the one and only universal (oil) measuring pitcher --- >

In this case, you can't use the universal oil measuring pitcher because too much fluid will be inserted into the U joint ball retainer....that is unless you drink most of it first! 1/2 pint is plenty of oil to lubricate the U joint yokes and the speedometer gear and shaft. With 1/2 pint the oil should be near the top of the speedometer gear and shaft. Also, the U joint will receive additional lubrication from the mist of oil in the transmission that will spray through the rear transmission bearing and into the U joint ball retainer. Hope this info. helps. By the way, usually "jokes" don't have to be lubricated...that is unless it is a very dry "joke".

Sometimes humor gets lost in translation. 25 years back a Hungarian Engineer who worked with me was dispatched to a Senior's Housing project which we had just built to check out a malfunctioning sand filter sewage treatment system. The next day we met and he indicated the solids had been getting past where they should be because the tilt trays were not properly leveled. He indicated he had made all the necessary adjustments and now things were much better. When asked how he determined that, he said in his wonderful Hungarian accent
"the solids escaping were reduced by more than 2 terds". (English translation 67 percent).

@ JD : THX, clipped and precisely answer !
learned -
Jokes should not need any lubrication, but some yokes are jokes.
@GS : An architect in charge a few weeks ago : " Oh, I am so sorry, but it seems that the nature doesn't match with the existing building plan !"
Have a nice day -
with oily humour ...
