Well, I came into work this morning and found that my parking spot was covered in tranny fluid. (fresh) I was parked there for a little while yesterday, Well, nobody else parks in my space, so I looked under the car and sure enough..... IT HAS A REALLY BAD LEAK!!! I didn't notice the tranny shifting any different on the way.... which was not too far. I filled it up with Penzoil Syncromesh.... but it's coming out fast! Best I can tell is that it's coming from where the tailhousing meets the main tranny case.

1. Is there just a paper gasket there?

2. Will have to drop the whole tranny to fix this?

3. A good time estimate to fixing this problem......?


Thanks.

I'd bet your tailshaft seal is the culprit...the one right where the driveshaft plugs in. Mine took a dump a while ago....new ones are cheap, get em at any parts store, cake to replace...just gotta take the D/S off. Pry the old one out..tap the new one in, it'll have a dust shield on it as well, totally different from the sealing surface...don't be afraid to whack the dust cover when tapping the new one in. Good Luck man
BTW, when I got my replacement from Advanced Auto, their computer kept giving part #'s for tremec transmisions, it worked fine

I know it's not the tailshaft seal.... but I'm gonna put a new one in there anyway before I put the driveshaft back up. I'm pretty sure it's pouring out from where the tailhousing bolts up.

You think I could tighten the bolts and see if that helps???

Totally.

Tighten it up. The NV3500 in my truck had the shifter break loose one day during a hard shift and fluid went everywhere. I tightened the bolts and it has been bone dry for 20k miles...
