After finally getting engine and tranny installed I found tranny leak in back where pin goes through the two shafts. It is leaking on the right side of pin which is loose, i can move it left to right. It doesnt seem this pin would wear but why would it leak and would a new pin stop it? It looks like I could push out the old pin with a new one as I really dont want to take everything apart again. I may try to seal pin with permatex but don't think it will work. I know others have had the same problem and has anyone been able to fix this leak with tranny in car?
