Another transmission question...

I may keep my C4 tranny but, it appears to be leaking from the tailshaft of the tranny....or......where the driveshaft connects to the back of the trans, (I am not too sure of the specific name)....anyway, Is this an easy fix, can I do it myself, or should it go into a shop? Next, the kickdown is not connected, I dont even have the cable or rod that goes to my carb for it, can I do that, or should I take it to a shop................?

If it's the slip yoke leaking, it's a pretty easy fix, just a press in seal I believe. As far as a kickdown it mught be vacuum, but I don't know for sure, It's been a long time since I played with a c4...
