Took a look at pulling the pan last night. It looks like the bottom cross brace has to be pulled to get to the rear pan bolts. Gonna be more of a job than I thought.

Meanwhile my temp solution has been to give it more gas. If I stay on the gas and push the throttle more than usual through the 40MPH range I can avoid the dead spot that I have. My MPG's are gonna suffer, but its not like I'm riding around in a civic anyway.

Oh yea Rear Diff oil was contaminated too. Changed that last night. Transfer case and front diff next I assume. It's on the list.
