First off let me say this, it has been awhile since I have been here, so if I am not following any sort of forum edict I apologize.
My tranny has been leaking for quite some time now (right onto the cats, well it pretty much gets flung around everywhere by the DS) and after replacing the rear seal it still leaks. I suspect the tailhousing bushing as I get that nice droning sound at higher speeds indicative of the bushing wearing. I know how to replace it, but the new bushing has a lubrication hole and some passages on the inner diameter. I would assume that there is a correct orientation for this hole, whether facing the top or bottom. I cannot find any info in the T-5 rebuild manual or any of the online guides like the T-5 rebuild saga. Anyone have any thoughts?
