I just recently installed my trans over the weekend. Drove it all weekend without any issue, shifted good and no leaks anywhere.

I come out of the house this morning and seen a small puddle of tranny fluid, dripping out of the inspection cover. Is this an indictor that I over filled it? I put in 11 qts, I was a little over the "full" mark on the dipstick for my final reading.

Thanks.

 

Probably not. It would indicate a leaking front seal where the input shaft goes into the trans. The converter has a big seal there and if you nicked it putting it in that's probably what's causing it to leak.

 

I was pretty cautious when sliding the TC on the shaft, I rotated it left and right to seat it. Then I stabbed in the trans. Is it possible I damaged the seal while installing the tranny? I got sortive ruff with it.

I just walked outside and their isn't a single leak on my driveway now?

 

Check the fluid level again, and the seal on the fill tube. If it stopped leaking say "thanks" and drive on!

 

WHAT HE SAID!!!... you got lucky.
