Re: Failed

Well if you did no. 1 of course it will leak, nothing to stop it. If you did no. 2 the seal is now in the bottom of the transmission, you now get to drop the pan to fish it back out, put it back on the tube, and then install the tube. If you got a new tub, is it the right tube, is it the right diameters? Is it the right length for you car?

And they are a tight fit when the seal is new, that's what stops if from leaking. As far as it puking out the tube, you do know you check and add fluid to a car that is running and check it as you add fluid. You add a pint (1/2 a quart) wait a moment...check the level...do it over and over again till it's at the bottom mark. Then test drive the car, run it through the gears, 1, 2, 3, N, R, and park it back on the level surface and check it again, with the motor still running. If it's between the marks you're good. If it's over the full mark, take some out. Below the low mark add some more. Overfilling a transmission is a bad idea. Worse thing it will do is make foam and kill it, or it will blow a seal or pour out the overflow vent. None of those things are fun.

I hate playing with automatic transmissions. The smell enough is to make me want to not touch it. I will just pull them and take them to a shop. I'll do an adjustment, oil change, replace a tube or external switch...anything else isn't worth my time. Too much to tinker with, to easy to go wrong. Shops are cheap if you pull it yourself and take it to them.

I put new dipstick in from mancini, it looked like itd be a great upgrade. Wouldn't go in, so I removed seal, installed it first into tranny, then installed dipstick. Added oil, ran it, seemed fine. But now I guess since all te oil I added, it's puking out the dipstick. Talk about annoying, spent that money for no reason pretty much cause I'll still have to use right stuff I guess. :-(( again starter failed on me, bendix isn't kicking out all the way. It's been a bad day!!
