Sounds like a bent tranny pan. If it is - you'll have a monster of a time sealing it.

Good Luck

Hello BrianG another " fix" is to take the pan to a machine shop have them dial in the centers of the flats and have them mill off .005+ -about- from the top of the pan lip. It would be ideal if they would use a 1/4" radius bit . Also you can go with a grinding table but that machine is a little more difficult to find in shops . Currently shops charge about 65.00$ per hour. It SHOULD NOT take more than an hour-hour and a half. What I have to say last is true now. Stick around and watch the person dial it in! Being a transmiission pan, the foreman might not take this job too seriously and put one of the, uhm lower paid workers on the project! Talking from experience! Mike

Hello Mr.GarthS. Do you mean the "jack off method" which you titled one of my posts concerning filling up tranny resovoir? I was thinking of you when I was typing the 2x4 method for BrianG. Whoops that doesn't sound right!!! Mike.
