Good morning.
I have a transmission leak that appears to be coming from the area I circled in red (not my car, best picture I could find to show the leak area). It is dripping enough that it needs to be addressed. Nose cone in snug and I used a new gasket when I put it back on after changing out the first gear cluster. Any clever ideas to pass along? Thanks!  |

Well...if you really really want to do in the car...if at the track or on the road ok...
At least I would go for drain the trans oil... Do you have a lift?? But really you're dealing with the trans mount ears so got to support the trans/engine if removing the rear cone. It's best to just drop the whole package trans/engine Bet you need to do other things as well... It's SO much easier to work on things when you don't have to stand on your head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) What's that angle iron up in there for...just above the drive shaft? |

Good eyes however-I believe the car that I lifted the picture from had been converted to an EV. |
