1979 Chevy C-10 transmission tail shaft leak
« on: April 07, 2014, 03:36:07 pm »
Working on 1979 Chevy C-10, the transmission is dripping at the driveshaft yoke, I have replaced the rear seal, no fluid at the seal, just the drive shaft, how do you repair this.

     Welcome to the site, but we need more info.  What transmission do you have ?  Auto or manual ?
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
