Re: [T3] AT Leak


How's that for conflicting advice...
Greg says get it nice and clean... And Jim says get it dirty ;)

I think I will do both.  I will clean it up 'cause it is awefully caked with
years of dirt and atf.  Then I can put some nice dust on there so I can see
the path (if any) that the atf makes.

Anything with me is possible ;)

I have not replaced this O-ring but the governor was one place that I was
able to check for leaks easily.  I did not notice a large amount of wetness
around the cover seem.

Thanks for the advice.
