I have the B&M Aluminum pan on my 727. Supposed to hold 2-4 more quarts than stock I put in 8 quarts and the tailshaft seal is leaking fluid when the car runs . Do I have too much in the trans and this is causing the leak? The seal is new and I do not think I damaged it when installing the driveshaft! Thanks Mike

Sounds about right for the fluid level (but check your dipstick....JIMMY!!! ). I would guess you have a problem with the seal. Does your yoke have a smooth surface?

I have both the B&M and the Mopar deep steel pans, I always run the fluid to the add mark on the stock dipstick when cold The tailshaft leak is not related to the amount of fluid in the pan

trans will hold 8qts plus the converter for about 9 and add 3.5 for the deep pan...about 12 or until the Dip Stick shows full...leaking out means ya dont have a good seal around the shaft...

Parts store says it has two seals to fit the 727. One with a short piece of rubber that goes around the yoke and another with a longer one. Which one is better? Also, someone said to use a piece of 2-1/2 in pvc pipe(id) with a cap on the end to tap the seal in place without causing any damage Any comments. Thanks Guy's Mike
