Transmission Leak

[Franklyn Tamarez]

Hello,
Anyone in the Coral Springs, Florida area willing to give a hand. Need to change seals on transmission on my 68. Transmission shifts fine but I continue to seal fluid on the garage floors. Car sat in storage for a while while stationed overseas. Thanks for your time.

Likely the shift selector seal.
I was able to change it easily but the transmission was out of the car.

Where it dripping from? Come front from behind inspection cover? Pan gasket wicking fluid? Shift lever seal as Don said? More info needed.

Don,
I dried everything up under there pretty good. Wrapped paper towels around output seal, selector seal and a line connection. It’s seems to come from all three.

Fran,

it’s definitely not coming from pan gasket although it’s a little moist. I dried everything up pretty good and wrapped paper towels around it. Seems to be coming from shifter seal, line seal and output seal.

The shifter seal is a pain with trans in the car. Need to remove valve body. I've never done one in car. Line connections you cooler lines? I'd remove lines and fitting clean +dry them and put sealer on fitting and put back in trans. Check the flairs for cracks and dings.Replace tail shaft seal. If you remove V body to get rod that pushes park lever in you need to have someone turn rear tire slowly. That turns trans so can push rod in.
