1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word
So, about the trans fluid leaks, I knew the selector shaft seal was bad, but I also discovered leaking at the tail shaft, so I pulled that seal and ordered a new one.
Then I attacked the shift selector seal. When I realized how tight it was under the car, I decided to pull the crossmember and lower the transmission a bit. That's when I remembered that in the box of parts that came with the car was a transmission mount.
I bought the tool that is supposed to make removing the shaft seal easy, but it didn't. I finally decided to cut my loses and drop the pan again, and remove the valve body. I had the seal out 2 minutes later.
Now waiting on more parts and more time to put them in.
