I recently purchased a 68 GT/CS that had been parked since 1981 due to a transmission leak. The transmission was pulled and it sat until 5 months ago. I was told that the transmission shifted fine, but had a massive leak when the engine was running. Before installing the transmission I replaced the front and rear seals and their was no indication of any leaks from these areas. The guy I bought the car from couldn't remember where he thought it was leaking from. Yesterday, I was at the point where I could fill the tranny and I overfilled the tranny and it poured out the overflow vent tube. No big deal, but I wonder if this is where the leak was from before. I have read that if the wrong dip stick was installed at some point in time that you could actually overfill the tranny when the stick reads fine. I also read that there could be a check valve inside the tranny that causes fluid to dump out the vent tube. What length dip stick should I have? I will probably try and start the car today and see what happens. Any imput would be great.
Thanks,
