oil pan leak
oil pan leak alright so i just got done installing the shift kit. now i have a problem. after i bolted everything back up, i started pouring in the trans fluid. after every quart i checked to make sure there were no leaks. after pouring 3 quarts in, it became clear that there was fluid leaking through the gasket near the shift connector bolts. luckily i did not pour in all 5 quarts yet. so i started over in an attempt to discover a problem. no problem. so i reinstalled everything and attempted the procedure again. same dam thing. what can i do to solve this problem? if your wonddering the shift kit was from B&M and i know some will criticize but im past that, just want to know what the hell i can do to fix this. I wanna drive her!!!
Did you install a new gasket and torque the pan bolts 98-108inlbs? Also make sure that the pan rail where the gasket sits is flat. Sometimes when the bolts have been over torqued the pan will be distorted there. Vince
yea i replaced the gasket completely. torqued it correctly. the gasket from b&m is like a cork material but im thnking...if i put some adhesive between the pan and the gasket, could that help some leaking? prevent any from leaking between small cracks? thanks for the help
They are normally black or brown. I get them from a local trans parts supplier or the dealer. The one from the dealer is black. Good luck and glad you were able to see why it leaked. Vince
