The long string of leaks from Faulkner's underbelly seem to have stopped! I replaced the o-ring on the pushbutton cable that goes into the adapter housing, filled the tranny and took it for a spin. Shifts great, and no leaks! Most helpful was Dave Grove's suggestion to drop the transmission pan, on two counts. 1) You can readily release the spring retainer for the pushbutton cable in order to remove (and reinsert) it, and 2) You can easily see if the cable is properly adjusted or not. In Dave's own words: "What you are looking for is that the pointer on the valve body piece (the one the cable snaps into) that contacts the neutral safety switch is perfectly centered on the switch when the "N" button is pushed." I did this, and the buttons work perfectly. Thanks, Dave. Now, if the skies don't open up tomorrow, on to the Collingswood Car Show! Wait... What's that green stuff on the bottom radiator hose?!
