On the 3rd trans pan and!
I have a 86 GMC pickup with a 350 auto and I am leaking transmission fluid while driving.
I am on my third transmission pan trying to stop a fluid leak. It leaked on the original pan, a chrome one, and now a thicker aluminum pan. Today I started driving to a car show and it started fogging smoke out from underneath the back of the truck. This time I used a thirty dollar gasket between the trans and the pan! You know the thought, the more it cost the better it should be! I am thinking there must be some pressure build up causing the fluid to be pushed by the gasket! Any suggestions what to look for would be greatly appreciated! |

Re: On the 3rd trans pan and!
are you sure its the pan leaking?...I don't see how you could build pressure in the pan without it blowing out the dipstick tube ...

Maybe the leak is coming from the shift rod seal. Maybe the seal was never installed?
