Re: transmission problems

There is supposed to be a heavy bodied o-ringed type sleeve or grommet that the dipstick is pushed into through the edge of the trans case. If the dipstick is just like sitting there in its hole it is missing or badly torn/worn and will leak everywhere. Congrats on taking on a project and making a daily driver from it. I got my first car when I was about 9 it was a Pontiac with a bad starter that had been sideswiped and my dad after asking him told me if I could get it running he would let me have it. Of course he didn't think I could. I'm now college educated along with trade school and have been in my own shop since 1987 and he still thinks that for some reason. I feel that I have to prove to him every day I can start that car. Welcome to the site . Jim
