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?? |

Thanks for the suggestions.
It is the old seals that need some love or in this case, hate. I am going to kill them and replace them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I've already got the engine and trans apart and the throw out arm off. It is the seal itself I am having trouble with. It's like it is welded in place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I picked up a seal puller so hopefully that will get it out of there. It is definitely the trans that is leaking. I filled the trans with Swepco and that is what I am seeing. You can't mistake that color for anything else. Several members here set me straight on the right oil to use in a 901 so I am draining the Swepco and filling it with good old dino 90 weight. I replaced the engine rear main seal on this engine before I swapped it in a couple months ago. |
