Pipes leading into automatic transmission
Hey guys, The 7's sprung another minor leak.. except it's in a very odd region, the metal pipe that plugs into my auto trans underneath. The fluid drips ( and sprays apparently,, there's gunk all around it) from where it bolts in.. and I can't seem to find a gasket - if there is one- online. any ideas?

Check out the 1979-1980 parts manual on foxed.ca. It looks like all of those fluid filled connections have bango bolts.

Turns out it's not a pipe but the speedometer gear.. now to find a replacement since it leaks lightly from that spot and I have no idea if the O ring on Atkins rotary works.

Dumb question but would anyone know where I could get the speedo gears o ring from? Atkins has one but I have no idea if it's the o ring that goes around the assembly that's pictured here ( from a old 2006 thread) of the speedometer gear assembly..
https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/7...11-17-443.html or this ? https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/7...11-17-443.html This little leak is driving me nuts.. its staining the driveway with little specks of red ATF. It literally only drips ONE drop, but it's enough to leave a nickel-sized stain every time. Edit: looked at the FSM, both parts are used, I'm just going to swap the outer o ring first since that's where it appears to be leaking from, if it was the internal one it would be dripping from the middle. 4bucks for a rubber band is kind of pricy but it beats scrubbing the driveway every week. |
Also remember this is not just a normal seal. It's one made to be exposed to ATF which would swell normal rubber.

Years ago I bought a O ring replacement kit from HF. It has all sizes in it from 1/4 to near 2" and I have used them to replace speedo seals on many vehicles, without a problem. For what it costs it is worth a try. It comes in a maroon box about 6" X 10" X 2" high
