Hello
I have a leak between the overdrive and the adaptor plate on my car. The box was recently out of the car and split and looks like the seal between the new overdrive and the plate is not so good. As getting the box in and out of the car is such a pain (and the od on the back of the gearbox) I am wondering if it is possible to fix the leak in situ. I am thinking about removing the rear mountings, undoing the bolts on the od so it slips backward a few mms on the springs and then squirting some hylomar in the gap to create a seal. Has anyone done this and was it successful?
Thanks
Myles
