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

Does your yoke have a smooth surface? 67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

Thanks Mike 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...

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
