 |
|
Awhile back I noticed that my trans was leaking, off of the heavy duty side cover. I did the right thing and pulled the trans to replace the gasket/o-ring. Let it sit to to make sure it wasn't still leaking, and low and be hold it still was. New gasket, new o-ring, but this time I used some rtv as added protection. Still leaking. I've heard that if your hard on your car you can crack it, but I only have a 1600dp with a stock clutch. I'm starting to get frustrated at this point. Any ideas???

Clean it up and look close for cracks.
I went through this with my 911 a few years ago. The crack was really difficult to see, but it leaked.
