Re: [DML] Re: Delorean automatic pan gasket discussion (long)

[jordan rubin <nuttenschleuder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Im not sure how anything less than 3NM on the bolts
will keep them tight for any length of time. 

I have heard abou the shifter leak but have not seen
any indication that I have this problem.

I had cleaned every possible inch of the transmission
and Identified all places that were leaking, it leaks
no more.

currently , the only thing to be replaced are the two
coolant hoses in and out of it.  I will inspect the
gear shift cablew again though.

thanx
