Hi having mechanic work on 70 Charger to work on other things and all done except before I pick up, he says transmission fluid is leaking out of the Transmission Selector Shaft Gasket. I have not seen the leak and don't recall it leaking at least anything noticeable when I drove it. He said the gasket itself is cheap, but wants 8 hours labor to replace it.
I was wondering anyone's thoughts on this and is that reasonable? Also if I was to have it done, should I have anything else done? Taking the transmission down is a big deal.
My previous mechanic replaced the nuetral safety switch and topped off the transmission fluid. Could that have caused a problem? The present mechanic drained the the transmission and filled up the fluid because he replaced the transmission pan - could that have cause it? I know it could have just been a worn gasket. Thought I would ask as I never heard of this problem.
Is it possible to put some of the tranmission fluid leak sealer in there and let it run and see if that helps? The car is presently at the shop and was considering going ther tomorrow to evaluate. Seek your opinions as not only is this expensive, I am weary of having the transmission taken off when everything is working okay just the leak.
