The pan gasket is usually the main offender and the fluid ends up everywhere due to wind forces.

But my transmission, factory original I might add, doesn't have a pan or a filter. Are you certain this will work? He never did mention he had a automatic. He just said transmission.

Hi,
I'm in the Cream Ridge area... If you are familiar with Corvette Paramedics down by Columbus, they recommended Joe's Hamilton Trans...Nottingham way, Hamilton Twp. I worked right down the street so it was convenient, he had a number of classics in his shop at the time, 66 impala and a real old van. He upgraded my 700r4 and it works well, but it might not be happy after a certain all out drag race.. lol.. fluid now looks less than new.. But he is the only game in town around here, and Ive been checking around. There was a place called Cream Ridge Trans on 539 by the Plumstead Inn but it burned down and I don't know where he is now--and I heard mixed results.
Go to some car shows and ask around, they used to have a cars n coffee at a diner up your way, there is a big one this Sunday at the Plumstead. You can call Ed at Corvette Paramedics, not sure if he will help with advice rather than bring it in to them, I kind of know him. I'll make a call today to another guy I know and see what he says...
Flor me, if my 700 fails I'm going to order a level two from Bowtie Overdrives and have it installed locally, you might look at that sort of option as well...
