Hoping someone can put me in the right direction of what might be going on here. Work done on vehicle. Installed a Cletus McFarland eagle super boost cam, new dampner, oil and water pump, new aluminum radiator, timing chain and gears, and a 3200 ram circle d triple disc stall converter. Long tube headers. Valve springs and rods. Email tune done through PCM out of North Carolina. New input and output shaft seals. All stuff bought through Texas Speed, Summit Racing and Circle D out of Texas. After the final drive and doing the final tune we had no leaks underneath and drove it home and it was crazy faster then before especially with that converter. So once I got it home it sat a few days until I got the new inspection done. So inspection is done and noticed tranny fluid underneath. Brought it back to the shop, pulled rear and tranny out changed input, out put seals a 2nd time did fill procedure and leaks. Comes out bottom of bell housing.. pulled rear and tranny 3rd time, pulled tranny pump changed all gaskets, seals o rings put all together still leaking. Pulled rear and tranny 4th time put stock converter back in, boom no leaks, then a few days later it started leaking again. Sent converter to circle D, they did air test no leaks and was told they built me a new converter. Got it back pulled everything again and still leaked. We pulled this rear and tranny around 8 times and it keeps leaking. We changed all seals, gaskets, o rings. I'm lost. When it leaks it looks foamy.. like it pushing out of the seal, can the new radiator with the tranny lines have something to do with it. What can be causing this to build pressure and keep leaking.. please help, sorry for long post but trying to explain everything we did and tried. Thank you for all jelp..
That's a whole lot of work to never find out the source of the leak. Are you sure your shop knows what they're doing? There are only so many points the trans can leak from and they didn't narrow it down? The forum can't give you any advice for "transmission leaks" which is where you still are...
Yeah he also has a YouTube channel called built to perfection. We can't put our head around it., pull the tranny, pull out converter and put other one in, he checking distances etc.. doesn't make sense..
Yes, we can't pinpoint the leak when it's together because u really can't see in the bell housing. We changed input and output seals, pulled the tranny pump and changed gasket and seal behind that as well. It's foamy looking when it comes out, like to much pressure or something and it's possibly come through input seal around shaft that converter slides onto.
