Tranny dripping from front U joint

Can you crow bar the pipe down enough to jam a wooden shim in it to separate it from the frame enough to see if it makes a difference?

I thought of that, and now that you mention it, i think i can shim a piece of wood in there, its not so hot it will cook the wood now...will it?

Will do, gonna try it first thing in the am. I figure when i put the H pipe in there i'll set it correctly away from that cross member.

good plan

I didnt have to put a shim in there, i used the tire iron from my f-350 and pryed it down just a tad, enough not to touch the crossmember. We'll see how it is when i leave for work in the morning.

Also, its been a couple days and not one single drop from the peep hole, i mean weep hole.
