Can do, motor's under way right now, hopefully be dropping the car off at the end of the month for the swap, tranny swap at the same time.
Keep me posted as to what you find with the tranny too.

Keep us posted on what you fine, my new 4L60E is bleeding out as well...out of the lil vent on the top of the tranny. Low or full to the top mark it keeps blowing it out.
Can't be getting hot on my car, its doing this whether i'm crusing at 70mph on the highway or city driving

Verdad Gallardo Sounds like it was an easy fix. Probably a goofy seal or something. Get taht temp guage installed though, it could have goten too hot and the seal could have got soft or something and that's why it let go.

If I still had a 10 bolt in my car, I'd be pretty hesitant to transbrake launch the car too LOL. The car should be going in end of this month for the motor 
and tranny swap, so I'm hoping I have it back mid july so I can put some miles on it and get used to it, then it's off to the track, to get kicked out after the first full pass... if anyone's paying attenion anyway
