Re: Trans oil leaking from speedo housing
It sounds that transmission oil is leaking thru the rear main shaft bearing and into the U Joint cavity.
This will happen when there is no rear main shaft oil Baffle.
Early Mitchell Transmission used sealed main shaft bearings and after a while in use, the seals would start to leak and transmission oil would find it's way thru the rear bearing and into the U Joint cavity. If not caught in time, the transmission would run dry. Mitchell changed this design and offered a fix it kit for those already in service.
