I had my coach over at a friends house four blocks away from my house as he has a separate cement pad large enough to raise the coach so as I could work on the underside and check out a few things.
Yesterday I was checking the total timing on 1977 Kingsly coach with a 403 engine. I set the idle at 2900rpm, set timing, and noticed fumes coming out of the tranny fill tube and also noticed small amount out of where the tube is inserted into the final drive. I looked around to see if maybe some oil had spilled on exhaust manifold but it was coming out of the tranny fill tube. Had fumes for about 10 seconds and they subsided.
Corrected timing. Started to rain a bit so I went home and waited for the storm to pass. Lowered coach off of jack stands and proceeded to take coach back to the house. Started right up shifted into reverse with a loud bang and moved backward. Shifted into Drive and proceeded home. As I was lining coach up to the side of the house I had to moved forward and back to get parallel to garage side. At one time the coach would not engage either in reverse or Drive and just sat in the middle of the street. Finally, tranny engage in reverse, and I was able to park it.
Looking at a camping trip this Mother's day weekend 60 miles away
I would imagine that I burned up a clutch or two in the tranny.
