Hey All,

I noticed some nice pink dots on my driveway the other day, so I jacked her up. I thought it was my pan and gasket, so I changed that. (needed to be done anyway) A few hours later, I see another drop. Up she goes again.

I now see that it is coming from the tranny lines on the transmission. It looks like only the top one is leaking.

I called Lentech automatics, since they are only 20 min away, and he said that there are fittings in the lines, which you can only get from Ford, about $8. He also said that you need a special tool to get the lines off the tranny.

I then called Mr Transmission. He said that I may have to drop the H-Pipe, which I assumed since I cannot get my hand in there. He would not get me a price, but if they have to drop the H-Pipe, I think it will be big $$$.

They both said not to drive it to hard or let it get too hot.

Has anyone done this themselves? How? Did you have to drop the h-pipe?

Thanks!

Ian
