kissfans03ss Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Check to see if your bolts are loose they might have to be snugged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevyman03SS Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sound like you will be makeing a trip back to them suckers for them to fix it!!! FOR FREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 No it should not be making so much as even a threat of a drip; whoever did that gasket job does not know what they are doing. The secret is to use the least amount of torque possible, tighten all bolts evenly until the gasket and pan have just contacted the transmission, then go to 5-7 foot-lbs and you're done. Mr. P.

YenkoChevelle69 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah right.... they had better fix it for you whether you bring it to them installed in your truck, or it arrives via little red wagon. I'd take it back STAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Mikey, give Vince or Chuck a call tomorrow, you may have a warped/bent transmission pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony-CA Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm willing to bet someting is leaking above the pan like a trans. cooler hose fitting. Does it leak more with the engine running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonj87 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 hard to tell if it leaks more with the engine running. i cleaned the whole under carriage saturday it was as clean as dylan would make it.. now its as dirty as as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocoop Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 If it was the pan gasket there wouldnt be that much fluid on the rubber boot on the shifter cable. Maybe they overfilled it and one of the vent hoses came off, but it still looks like the pan gasket is leaking. Check the fliud level... Was it leaking before you got it replaced, or was there another reason???? Id still take it back to whoever did it they have to fix it for free, take it back asap. And get DEX VI put it next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
