mrc 1,000 #1 Posted October 24 hello men, earlier this year i had to remove the tranny from my bronco14 to re-seal the motion control shaft. the shaft does not leak now. however i've noticed a small amount of ATF leaking from what appears to be between the 'F' plate and the tranny. i did put some pipe dope on the bolts when reinstalling the tranny. perhaps not enough? what do you guys use? thank you mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,084 #2 Posted October 25 Mike - the top two mounting holes are tapped thru, the lowers are blind. I like to use Permatex #2 on the threads of the upper bolts at assembly. Do not use Permatex #1 - that stuff gets crystalized hard and is tough to remove. The #2 is non-hardening. And messy to work with...... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrc 1,000 #4 Posted October 28 thank you bill and ed. i mixed up some dawn dish washing liquid and hot water in a bucket. i used an old paint brush and applied it all over the tranny. then rinsed with the garden hose. then i drove around the neighborhood and parked it on a BIG piece of cardboard in the garage. no leaks. i think it was just some residual ATF from when i resealed the motion control shaft. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
