...there are more issues.
I had a local shop with a qualified mechanic replace the rear main seal. They had several classic mustangs and high end cars when I dropped off and picked up.
When I picked it up they informed me that there was seepage from somewhere on the transmission. I should not have left the shop.
The "seepage" left 3 to 4 oz of tranny fluid on my garage floor in less than 12 hours. And the car started missing shifts.
Took a look for myself yesterday. Not a single bolt on the pan was tightened to spec. I could turn them by hand, hence the "seepage".
The bigger problem and question: The transmission cross member is missing a bolt on the driver side and a nut on the other side.
They would have had to remove the transmission to replace the rear main, right?
Is it safe to drive it 7 miles back to the shop? How crucial is that cross member?
