Rebuilt tranny, used TC 2800-3200 . Just cranked the motor last week and all systems seemed to be ok. Filled tranny with fluid as much as would take then cranked her up and dropped it in neutral to fill the TC ( per tranny builder)then shut it down and refilled tranny. Upon the second or third time i noticed tranny fluid on floor. A few drops. Checked all lines and all tight and the tranny fluid is coming out of bottom front of tranny at bottom of inspection plate. Removed inspection plate and the surface of the TC is dry. This is a 727 with B&M shift improver behind a 440 in a 73 Duster. 0 miles. 10 minutes total run time. In trying to top of tranny, checking fluid in neutral the leak becomes more steady(small stream) as it gets close to full. No leaks at the rear seal. Looks like a front seal on tranny. I'm taking car to tranny builder tomorrow. Could there be a problem with the TC? What your prognosis? Would be grateful for any help. I don't want to pull that tranny with the new exhaust in place but it aint looking good. This is gona be a *****. Talk to me PLEASE.
