Re: Tranny leak question

Well film Guy I *Thank God* it's not that for my own sake haha! It is a newly rebuilt tranny with less than 100 miles on it and it was running good with the old engine in it. I also sealed the o ring for the dipstick with a little silicone so it should have a good seal too.

And even better... I solved the problem! I was sitting around thinking about it and I realized it was only 7:30 and I planned to replace the lines anyway so I might as well do it. I went and picked up two 5/16 brake lines from the auto parts store. I got them installed pretty quick and took it up to the car wash and washed off that area and took it out for a drive. I drove it a pretty good distance longer and at a decent speed around 40 most of the time getting it up to around 55 a couple of times, and getting on it pretty hard a couple of times too (for the first time too ). I got it home and there was a little fluid around but mostly water, and nothing dripped at all, and the new lines are dry. I bet I tightened that compression fitting too tight.

That's one way to get me to replace the lines haha! Thanks for all the help guys!
