I got a 55 Ford. 460/ C6 combo. I have a small Tranny leak somewhere. Seems like it is coming from the Transmission Oil Pan Gasket. Ive had a gasket. Then I used some gasket maker silicon. It leaks after about a month. Its not leaking alot but after about a month it has a 3X3 ft Tranny oil residue on my floor. Does anyone else have any probs like this. It is annoying the heck out of me.

It is a bother. My Fordomatic had a leak where the selector goes in the side. I finally had to pay a shop $150 to put in a new seal. But now there is no more leak. Jag

 

I had a Tranny Shop rebuild it before I built the truck. It frustrates me. Thanks for your Feedback.

 

What year model C-6 is it? Ford had some problems around 75-76 with the C-6 leaking fluid around the front pump. The 460 and C-6 in my 79 came from a 75 and if I park it nose-down for a week, I'll have to add fluid before it will move. There is a gasket and O-ring kit to fix this leak.

 

My AOD also leaks at the selector, have a new o-ring for it but haven't taken time to put it in. I'm really dreading pulling the pan again but I am planning on using one of those vacuum pump gizmo's this time. Last time I had transmission oil in three counties before it was finished.

 

Not sure on the make. Tranny Shop said someone put a different tail shaft on it to lengthen it up. Is the Vin on the Tail shaft toward the back. Thats the only one i saw. Just looked.

not that it helps, but my 4L60E leaks, as does my mazda 5spd, my wife loves me

 

Ugghh. Thanks Jared.

 

your welcome, and on another note be careful when you wash down your driveway, the fire department might show up, and block your street for i dunno, maybe two hours, or more, not that has ever happened, no my neighbors dont really like me

 

Another way to think of it is that it's not really leaking, it's just marking it's territory.
