It is 1968 and I'm a senior in high school. After unceremoniously crashing my '58 Savoy I trade the wreckage in to the local junkyard along with $75 additional for a '62 Belvedere 2 door sedan with a 318 poly and 727. First day I drove it to school, I come out at the end of the day to find a giant puddle of transmission fluid had spread out from under the car. You can imagine the embarrassment as my buddies razzed me over my leaking new car. I walked to a local garage for fluid to get home. There I crawled under to look for leaks, with the car still running and could find a thing. But the next morning there was another puddle. My embarrassment was compounded by arriving at school in my mom's Volkswagen. Eventually I figured out that the leak was at the lockdown shaft seal. My temporary fix was to put a small washer over the shaft onto the top of the seal, following that with a small spring under the lever. This spring pushed on the washer enough to squish it and it sealed well enough that I never changed this arrangement. It lasted until I changed to a 383 and its attendant trans in 1970. -- -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
