56 Lincoln
Yes I know its not a ford but I thought I would give it a shot. The car has been sitting 30 plus years it runs great but the trans leaks from around the converter. Its a 3 spd auto. I have heard these are a nightmare. Can anyone give me some guidence on how tought the seal is to change?

As far as servicing the front pump seal, it is no different than a Ford-o-Matic

Re: 56 Lincoln
If the converter is bolted together rather than a welded one, there are seals in the converter itself. One is a large square section O ring type seal around the area of the bolts. Some also have a bolt in pump hub which has a similar seal. Be sure to replace these while it is apart. John

I pulled the motor and trans. converter looks great. It looks like the leak is from the seal behind it
