I installed a replacement transmission in the 71.
I may have overfilled the trans. Would the excess trans oil leak out the axle and front seals or does the presence of leaks mean I need to replace the seals?? |

Also make sure the top vent is clear....it could be blocked,not likely but worth checking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Easy and free check. Is it leaking just sitting there or after driving? The vent only becomes a factor when driving and build temperature in the box. Unfortunately, a slight overfill like you described shouldn't result in a leak. Suspect you have old seals that needs some love. |
