Subject:tranny leak at stub axle
From:Warren.K.Lail-1

When I pulled the transmission out of Billy Bones,
it and the engine were covered in oil and dirt
and lots of grease. So I took the tranny to
a car wash and cleaned it thoroughly.  Yesterday
I went to drain the old tranny fluid out in
preparation for my Redline MT90 only to find
a leak.  Whoa, that Redline costs too much to
dump in and watch it leak out.

It appears to be leaking where the stub axle
connects to the transmission housing.  Is there
a seal back there that can be replaced without
too much trouble, or am I going to need to pull
the tranny back out? Please say no to the latter :(
