The title was supposed to say "Need an A/T expert"
Okay, I have a problem with my automatic transmission.
Basic TH125C.
after about 15-30 minutes (15miles or so) the transmission begins to leak transmission fluid...
I started to assume it was the torque convertor seal since I didn't replace it when I had the engine and transmission out, but then started thinking that it may be the torque convertor itself!
the transmission only slips when it gets low on fluid, and it only leaks when the fluid is hot.
I put a 2.8 in that I rebuilt and also put in a slightly higher stall torque convertor. this leaking problem wasn't happening before I did the motor swap, so its logical that the t.c. could be the problem I already have the seals ready, and have the stock convertor to put back in, if that is the problem.
I however do not know for sure how to check the t.c. to see if that is the problem. the seal, I am replacing regardless.
I have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week set aside for me to drop the cradle and separate the motor and trans, and put them back together. Any input would be welcome and appreciated!
