leaking tremec 3550

I have a 93gt that i had converted from an auto to 5spd. only after a few hundred miles the tranny started leaking a small amount from the front, between the bell housing and trans. Any sugg. on where its leaking from before i take it out?

Did you replace your rear main seal when you did the swap?

larocca's performance did the swap for me, not sure if they replaced the rear main seal or not?

is it oil leaking or trans fluid? if it's oil, likely the rear main seal. If it's tranny fluid leaking, likely the trans front seal. either way, minor repairs, but unfortunately, if that is your problem, then the trans will have to come out. In the meantime, this fluid is gonna soak and ruin your clutch, if it's not already too late. beeen there, done that 2x over already.

it's tranny fluid for sure. when you say front seal in trans, Do you mean the one around the input shaft? If so where can i get a replacement seal?

hanlonmotorsports.com Great guys, I'm sure they'll have what you need. If it's leaking between the bell and engine, and it's tranny fluid, then 99% for sure, it's that damn front seal behind the input shaft bearing retainer. Do inspect your clutch when you've got it apart. Best of luck!!
