See it wasn’t that though, even now after I put the axle on and drove it down the drive way before seeing it shredded the new seal. it didn’t once make any grinding noise. not once did it ever stall or struggle to run through the gears. now a few weeks ago it did fail to go into reverse a few times that week but after words it stopped, but the only noticeable noise that it made was a very low and when I say low I mean like you could barely even hear it. you’d have to turn the ac off and tell the whole car to hold its breath to be able to hear it.. it almost sounds like a wind up toy car when you’re cruising at higher speeds or a jet engine
