Turbo 400 Help
Just serviced my Turbo 400 and have had nothing but leaking problems. I used Amsoil Transmission Fluid. The car leaks a puddle of ATF about the size of the palm of your hand everytime I park it and then slowly stops. The gasket provided in my rebuild kit was pretty flimsy so I thought that was the problem and replaced it with a Felpro gasket which was twice as thick. I still have the same problem. Can anyone help?

are you using a stock pan and it has no bends, you checked the pan mounting surface on a known flat surface?
did you overfill it and it is blowing out a vent?

The leak could be coming from several places like the pump, the dip stick tube, the governor housing, the modulator, the shift shaft seal, the rear seal, or even the kick down wire plugin. You need to thoroughly clean the transmission around the leaking area then find out what exactly is leaking.
