Well, I originally thought the leak was coming from the front of the trans pan so I replaced the gasket. When I had the convertor cover off, the inside of the bell housing was wet but the convertor was dry.... which didn't make much sense to me.

Thanks for the info on the rear ends. So now for my stupid question of the day... if I stay with the 10 bolt, can I make it a posi unit?

3.42 might be the way to go. Most of my driving will be in town but I would like to get it out on the highway and stretch it's legs once in a while and keeping the RPM's down would be nice.

What kind of money am I looking at to get a gear change?
