Re: Transmission question

[jtrealty@xxxx]

The shifter cable lets fluid seep out and then it runs down and looks 
like it is the pan gasket. The fix involves removing the shifter cable 
and covering it's entire length with heat shrink tubing. Rob Grady has 
the tubing and when you order it he can give you pointers on how to do 
it. The final drive on all Deloreans seeps as the Hylomar that is used 
never seems to seal completly. The only fix there is to remove the 
trans, split the final drive and reseal with silicone. It isn't really 
too important as it doesn't really leak as much as seep so if you can 
live with a drop or two I wouldn't bother execpt if you had to do a 
trans job anyway.

use (normal wear and tear)or non-use. I have a minor transmission leak 
coming from my '83 automatic and it only has 3900 miles. Probably the 
result of very limited use. I'm told its the transmission pan gasket 
and the shift cable. As soon as I determine the specific part number 
for the shift cable (it apperas to be a hose of some kind that has a 
kink in it and you can see the tranny fluid seeping out of it), I'm 
having both parts replaced.
