My 55 TBird has it's original T86 R10 three speed top load O/D transmission. It has leaked fluid since I have had it. I think it is leaking from the front, but it doesn't put oil on the clutch or pressure plate. When I rebuilt my engine last year, I removed the transmission and pulled the front bearing cover. There is no front seal in these transmissions. I called Vanpelt and he confirmed there is no front seal. These transmission use rifling groves on the input shaft to retain the oil. I put a new gasket on the input shaft cover, new seals on the shift levers and the O/D solenoid and reinstalled it. The transmission works perfectly, but it still leaks on my garage floor. I use SAE 90 Ford Tractor Mineral Oil in this transmission. Any ideas?
