transmission problems
I have a major leak in my c6, its in an 81 f150 with a 351 c. I noticed a large puddle under my truck yesterday, i drove the thing home (15 min) with the tranny slipping real bad. looking from under neath i can see that the inspection cover is missing and thats where the fluid is coming from. What do you guys think is wrong and what needs to be fixed? Btw i was picking up my toyota 4x4 when this happened so this may fit of jelousy from the ford. I think it was right about the time i gave the guy the money the yota when it started

Getting the pump seal on a tranny replaced is one of those jobs that will cost several hundred bucks in labor to change a $10 part.

1st thing the inspection cover should not be missing from a automatic tranny, 2nd thing ......Ooooooooooo Toyota!! 
.....3rd, tranny work is expensive, unless like Syco you can find some1 who works from his own garage after his day job......
