Update: Took the car in, he said the tailshaft area is rough but the seal tapped in tight the first time so they thought it would seal. Obviously it didn't, so they took the seal out and put in a new one with some sealant around it for no charge. Going to pick it up today, hope it holds or I'll...

Taking it back next week, we'll see what he's willing to do but I expect a fixed car!

Nope, I didn't install it. I bought it in May, it had a big leak so I took it in since I don't have the facilities to drop the tranny and the leak was mainly from the selector shafts and front seal. The shop did all the work and I got it back ready to drive home.

There's a puddle under the rear seal, and another one under the front (torque converter cover area?) I think they are both from the tranny and separate from the power steering leak. I guess next time I drive it (if it's before winter!) I should check the level when warm. It's possible it was...

I'm planning to give him a call... His shop was recommended to me by another classic car guy in town that restores a lot of them himself but sends them there for work. It didn't leak for a couple weeks but now there's a decent puddle under it after about a month and a half! (Plus the power...

And, it still leaks!! :banghead: I mean, at least not as much and not as fast, but in multiple spots... I just paid 400 bucks for this... if a reseal kit wont' do it what will?

Using that stuff, coupled with torquing the pan down incorrectly (did a criss cross pattern but did each bolt all the way tight at once, rather than finger tight, mostly tight, final torque increments) lead to this after under a mile of driving and just enough engine running to get the fluid...

Update: gasket blew out, I had a car-sized puddle of tranny fluid on my garage floor. Any idea what I did wrong when I put the new gasket on? Put tacky gasket sealant on it as suggested, it looks like it blew out on the passengers side front. The rubber gasket is actually torn around one of the...

Thanks, I used Dex/Merc for the re-fill, found the label on the dipstick.

Okay, so I went and replaced the gasket today. Not much to say there, it was already a rubber gasket and the gunk around the edges I think is just buildup from the leaks. The leak seems to be coming from either the front coolant line outlet, or the kickdown/shifter linkage area. There was a huge...

Got a gasket today, I will be dropping the pan, straightening it out if it needs it, and putting a new gasket on. It waits a day after I drive it, then most of the fluid just drops out overnight. I put a pint in on Sunday, drove it Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, no leak as of Wednesday afternoon...

bump anyone know what that hole in the top picture is for?

Took a look today, and I found a threaded hole on the front part of the tranny (torque converter cover part?) with nothing in it! This seems a little strange, here is a picture. Had her jacked up and forgot to look at the dipstick connection (doh!) but there is a lot of nasty stuff all around...

Thanks. Looks like i have a 904 after all.

I have a similar problem too, leaks only when the car is sitting around for a little while, so I will go tighten some stuff up and if I find anything that might apply to you I will let you know! Don't want to thread hijack, but a quick question, how do you tell the difference between a 904 and...

I will try to figure out if there is a leak at the dipstick or elsewhere, hopefully will post some pics later, I can see a little has leaked at the rear seal. How much to take it to a tranny shop and have them replace the pan gasket, seals, other leak spots?

Thanks guys, I will try to take a look around the dipstick and see if maybe the pan has gotten loosened up again. It seems to have a ding or two in the edges so that could be a problem, I may try to bang them out or get a new pan/gasket since I'm losing a quart of fluid every time I park for a...

Hey guys, I have a tranny leak that I need to find and decide if I can fix it or not. When I bought the car in May the fluid was about a pint low but the guy I bought it from said it didn't leak. I filled it up and it had a slow drip while I worked on some other problems. Took it out to some...
