Where the throttle bar connects to the transmission there is fluid leaking out. I am assuming its a bad gasket but can anyone tell me the name of the gasket and tell me how I would change it? I cant figure it out. I tried looking in the chilton guide but couldnt find anything. It's leaking from where the red arrow is pointing. Heres a picture of what im talking about:
The rubber "O" ring on shaft is leaking... Will require removal of pan, valve body and linkage from inside the transmission...
I have replaced both the seal and the o-ring and it made no difference, still leaks. Found this common issue in our C4 transmissions. One day I may pull mine apart and see if this is what is wrong with mine. http://www.allfordmustangs.com/foru...shaft-throttle-valve-shaft-leak-solution.html
It didn't take 40 years. Mine has always had a puddle of fluid under it. I just figured all C4s leaked like that. After swapping the seals a couple of times, and still leaking, I looked around on the internet and came across this fix a couple of times.
