what are a few things i need to look at before throwing it back in. everything was fine before I took it out except for a minor leak. i think it was where the rear and front cases come together. that can be fixed with silicon. anything else?

It is a Tremec 3550. thanks

I'd almost say that while you have the tranny out, replace that rear main even if its not leaking.

I am finishing a restoration and the engine is at the machine shop now. I meant what to look for on the actual transmission..
