Hello I just eay over paid for my project car I was not in the right state of mind when I made the purchase long story but I got lemoned but takenfull responsibility because I didn't check it out like I should have and ignored all the red flags...SMH So the engine runs great but has some major suspension issues and definitely something going on in the transmission or steering, probably both. I think it's leaking from the trans case. I already swapped all the fluids tht were advertised to be new absolutely not unknown what this guy did he took a dropper and put some new oil into thendipstick so it would look good. Wow... He seems to have used a lug nut impact on all the bolts that I can't and barely can get off with the reverse thread stripped bolt socket set. The oil plug was completely rounded off luckily I got tht out and and replaced it. I cannot get my impact to reach the filler bolt of the transmission and it's actually starting to strip now because I snapped a 3/8" extension with a ratchet and breaker bar. Hopefully I can remove the passenger tire and get a better angle at the filler screw but my impact still might not be enough to get it off if I can snap it with brute force. It's worth a shot and I'll guess I'll do it this Thursday hopefully I get it off and can replace it too. Also lucas transmission fix ina manual transmission?!bad idea or worth trying at this point. Thankyou for any information Any info on the unplugged harnesses and eiringing issues that were hidden of course A) the dangling harness from the drivers side? I Have since wire capped and tapes in the open end of wires. What harness is that and I'm pretty sure the red and back wires are left over from the OEM head unit.

B) why remove the foot rest? Now engine gasses seep thru there I guess I'll search if the piece is available if not patch it somehow....

C) why do I have 3 OBD1 ports (I'm guessing ones left over from the swap should i "paper clip them till I find the right one and hide the other one. (Btw this is all to get ready for star smog on an car that's never seen the ref seems to have skated by smog techs or considers and engine replacement but I doubt that being a jspec car

D) How dangerous it that blown axel bearings. No noises or any indicators when I drive, there's one tube that hooks up to the sleeve of that blown out thing does anyone know what kind of tune that it for and why I can't find it on the right side. I'm guessing it doesn't lubricate anything cuz no drips. If it's a vacuum hose I pinched it off and everything seems good. I've taken some corners pretty aggressively was i risking something serious driving it like that? Would tht be a clsourse of a transmission leak? Plz don't beat me up too bad I'm harder on myself than anyone 🙏
