I have meticulously prepped and fitted a new gasket twice now on the rear housing but still get drips from it so as i have the trans out i am going to have yet another go at it although design wise i think it would have benefitted from and extra bolt at the bottom but is anyone using a paper gasket sealant or maybe a thicker gasket ?
I think the oil i have been using is not helping any with leaks, i was advised by JPAT to use Dexron III (There was a container of Dexron II in the boot when i bought the car) when i got the new clutches and bands from them which should be fine as clutch materials have changed since the 60's but it is still an old transmission built with large tolerances compared to new ones so I have now bought some Eurol ATF 33 F/G to refill so will no longer be using Dexron III.
