Re: Torque Converter Leak Down Problem



There is a seal for the kickdown lever too.

Before you pull the trans, try to pinpoint the source of the leak. It may be something simple like the O ring on the trans dipstick tube.  

I don't have the PNs handy but NAPA had the kickdown and trans dipstick tube seals in stock, as well as the pan gasket, last I checked. I suspect the major auto parts stores do also have these.

Also look closely at the shift cables for cracks. 

Also look through the Transmission reference on the tech page, http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/techstuff.html

Let us know how it goes. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
