Hey guys
I’m working on a 73 2.0 which has been sitting for approximately 27-28 years. I’m going down the “to do list” and am now at the transmission; here she is. When I picked it up there was a bit of trans fluid on the floor also. I was thinking about changing fluid and trying to start and drive it but thinking it may be a wasted of time. What are your thoughts and should I send out trans for new seals/gaskets?   |

Are you sure its transmission oil ? ,looks like your engine may have a few leaks also(common) and the oil is being blown back to the rear of the car.
Degrease the whole lot and then put a sheet of cardboard under the car after a run,you can then find the source of the leaks if they are engine oil or trans oil and go from there. Common leaks for the trans will be the speedo cable drive,the input shaft seal then the output shaft seals in that order generally. Driving the car is the only way to know if the trans is ok ,just make sure its not low on oil before you test drive. Good luck. |
