what transmission are you talking about? I can not think of any Muncie or TH400 that would leak on top of transmission at shifter since the shifter for both transmissions is external.

If you are referring to the where the shifter shafts extend from the case, they have seals and this has to be done from underneath.

And many Muncie leaks are from the midplate- between the main case and tail housing. That's where mine was leaking from. And I've seen many others leaking at the same place. Not a bad leak, just one of those annoying little drips.
