another post about my 700r4 in my 86 bird(v8)... here goes...I was driving on the highway and my front seal decided to push out and i puked out all of my tranny fluid, but i pulled over as fast and as safely as i could(car only ran about 2 minutes after fluid puked out) what are the chances that i toasted a few clutches? because im replacing the seal this monday and i just wanna see if you guys think i might need to get the damn thing rebuilt...has about 100k on it

 

anyone know?

 

The best thing to do is change the seal and fill it with fluid and drive it to see what happens. I would bet that it is ok.

 

im still crossing my fingers, im changin the seal this tuesday, and i'll let ya know how it went

 

Changing the seal without installing a new bushing, might not solve this. The leak could come back quickly if there is too much clearance btween the TC & bushing. If you replace the bushing use the teflon.

 

where can i just get that bushing? and i would probably have to open up the tranny to replace it huh?

 

and what do u think the chances are that i burned a clutch pack(is that what they're called)?
