I should be firing up my 89 tomorrow if all goes good. Today I filled up the trans with fluid and all of a sudden it started leaking. The trans was completely drained including the torque converter and I installed a 24 GVW trans cooler and a deep trans pan, so i was thinking that around 15 quarts should fill her up. At around 13 quarts i heard leaking so i rush under the car and its leaking from the rear. I slightly tightened the rear pan bolts thinking it was my pan but i dont think that did anything.
I did a search and the only thing i can gather is that perhaps because the car is now on ramps and obviously on an incline, that the fluid was just leaking out of the rear seal? This could be because all the fluid is now in the pan and only very little (if any) in the torque converter or trans cooler/cooler lines
If this is the case, will this issue be resolved once I start up the car, get some fluid in the torque converter/cooler and run the lever through the gears? Thanx guys!
