I will deal with the trans after the other issues are solved. I pulled the front timing cover off to reseal it. I took a magnifing glass to the harmonic balancer and found lots of pitting. I ordered a repair sleeve that will be in Saturday. Hopefully that will solve my oil leak problem.

I replaced the front timing cover with another and the oil leak problem is solved! Also today the transmission started to shift the way it should! I figure it was a valve sticking. The power sterring pump is still noisey. Ill give it till this weekend.If it does not quiet down ill swap it out for another.
