My tailshift linkage cover plate is leaking a lot on my '70 /6. It appears warped and I'm guessing no replacement part is available. Chances are used plates are warped as well? Am I forced to fab a new one to guarantee a leak free tranny?

Speedo, is the most likely. Let me McMark has some improved double seal drive shaft bushings as well as myself.

QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Sep 17 2015, 06:19 PM)  Speedo, is the most likely. Let me McMark has some improved double seal drive shaft bushings as well as myself. I think it's probably leaking from the speedo drive and shift plate.   When I drained and flushed the fluid it appeared to be leaking from the plate after sitting I wrnight and before I even started to drive it. I'm not sure how high the fluid goes in the case- does it sit above the speedo output shaft when static? The yellow sealant in the shot was a temporary test to see if he plate still leaked after the first instance of leaking. After draining cleaning and refilling with fluid it still appeared to leak. The sealant wasn't intended for long term use. |
