I have been attacking all leaks on my 53 AD. After lots of effort, I am down to 1 trans fluid leak. This is from the screw-on collar at the back of the cover that slides over the U-Joint. The area all around the U-joint is dry (yes!) after years of leaking. BUT at the back of that cover, still a leak. I'm not sure it's even assembled correctly - there is a metal washer (pretty loose around the torque tube), cork gasket (pretty tight) then another metal washer, then the screw-on collar. I am wondering if that is correct. And if so, I would like to seal it without breaking the U-joint apart (!), since I finally have the front part sealed. Any ideas? Do I have a prayer using some sort of sealer there?
Thanks,
PM
