Hi all, my 65 Dart GT 273 904 auto just started gushing fluid out of the front of the transmission. It’s bad enough to make a stream anywhere I go. The torque converter go bad? Front seal? Thanks Dustin
I had swapped the original 273 out with a rebuilt one around 7 years ago and left the transmission In place. Bought a new front seal but didn’t replace it as the old one looked fine. Been driving for about 7 years and maybe 3-4K miles.I had this same problem in my 727 right after I rebuilt it -- steady stream when driving -- turned out I nicked the front seal when installing it. Replaced the front seal, solved the problem.
Yours may or may not be the same issue.
Thanks will do. The previous owner kept meticulous records and the transmission lost reverse in 1992. It’s overdue a rebuild. DustinIMO, when it's out you should replace all seals and clutches, check and set endplays, inspect T/C hub. All you need is a few tools and a bench to get it done and if it's your 1st time just read up on it and look at some videos.
