II finally got my sons 86 GT with the 3 speed automatic on the road. Everything has been fine for about a week. Unfortunately, I noticed a slip on the way home, so I checked the transmission fluid. Sure enough it was low. Upon returning from the auto parts store with fluid, I notice a wet spot on the pavement that was not there before. It's apparent he has a leak. It's dark, so I haven't jacked it up for inspection, but where besides axle seals, can the transmission leak from? I'm just trying to get a heads up before I get up under there, which may be a week or so. BTW, fluid was a nice red color before we ran it, so there wasn't old fluid in there. Please God, tell me I do not have to drop the cradle again.

Phew! It's one of those things I should have replaced while the cradle was out of the car, but I honestly just overlooked, and didn't even consider it. My fault, but at least it's not that bad of a job with it still in the car. I may just go ahead and replace the hoses while I'm at it.
