Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / leaking sealat shift shaft

« on: December 13, 2015, 02:58:33 PM »

Hi Dan.......I'm asking this here because it may help someone else.
That shifter seal is still leaking in my trans. I have replaced it twice. Only leaks when fluid gets above the shaft.
So...do they make a "dual" seal or better quality? How about a speedi sleeve? I might be able to machine a thin sleeve for the shaft or maybe a o-ring? 
It never leaked until Hughes rebuilt it, so I'm at a loss as to what is going on.....
Thanks.
Merry Christmas

Dan Dishon's Transmission Den / Leaking powerglide pan

« on: May 11, 2015, 03:31:11 AM »

OK Dan....what is your way of getting the gasket area of the pan to NOT leak when the car has not been started in awhile and the convertor oil gets above the gasket surface. ie. without having to chisel the pan off later !!!! lol
It is a cast aluminum pan...strong and flat. Not sure what is on it now. Hughes Performance went thru it for me in Phoenix and whatever they do ain't getting it done. (but the trans works perfect)

Altereds / new NHRA altered wing mount rule

« on: January 01, 2014, 07:19:22 AM »

NHRA has a new rule that says the struts for our wings can only be 6" long if mounted to the drivers pod!!!! That means most of the altered I've seen...mine included....won't pass muster. I NEED my wing..............so I have to do something.....
Classis Funny Car board has a topic on this issue.
So boys...put on your thinking caps
