Cliff's 33 Hot Rod Build in Virginia

Well it didn't take long before this would happen. Tow home.jpg I went to get a haircut and after parking I notices something wasn't right when I walked around the car. Trans leak 1.jpg What would anybody think after seeing that?

I called for a tow and while waiting checked all my levels and they were ok. It looked like trans fluid and it only leaked with the engine running. Because it's so low I couldn't see much. I was thinking one of my cooling lines came loose.

After getting it back in the gurage and jacked up. It became obvious where the leak was coming from. It's a 700R and I am using a speedometer that uses GPS. So I got what I thought was a good plug for where the cable would come from. It must have let go a short distance before I turned into the parking lot. Another mile or two and it would have been dry. Easy fix, ordered the correct plug and I'll have it in a few days. All I can do is count my blessings that it turned out this way rather then the other.

This was my second shake down ride. Check everything, even if you don't think anything strange will happen.

I used ICT part # 551961 from eBay (no shipping) to replace the part I had in it. It was a rubber disk sandwiched between metal plates that you screw together to expand the rubber.
