I have a big problem i think when i start my car (stock 87 4cyl.) tranny fluid runs out of the bell housing? any ideas what that could be???? i was thinking maybe front pump seal. how hard are those to change thanks,
i wish i could but i don't have the money right now to buy the other tranny otherwise i would do it that way i can buy the seal from autozone for 5 bucks any idea how hard it is the put it in? guess i am going to be learning how to put one in lol

The seal is cheap but changing it is a PITA. I think AutoZone sells them but if not a local transmession shop will. I blieve you will have to pull the whole gear box to swap this seal. Once the gear box is unbolted becareful the torque converted just don't slide off and break a toe etc Just slide the torque converter off and place it to the side. The seal should be able to be prided off with a screw driver but double check this. The new seal should be taped in place with a soft rubber hammer or butt of a screw driver. Then you slide the converter on making sure not to hurt the new seal. If it was me I would check and see what a transmession shop would charge...I can't stand transmession fluid anymore, exspecailt burnt transmession fluid
I think it is easier to pull the whole thing bellhousing and all. When you put it back together make sure you put the torque converter on and turn to the right at the same time, it will click and slide further on to the shaft 3 times. Make sure you do this or you will have a hell of a time (don't ask how I know). I had the motor out and learned the hard way that the hard way trying to put it back in.
