Side view, you can see in the upper left where the starter goes in and connects with the flywheel/driveplate.

Another shot.

Another shot. See that little valley or drop on the back that is where that rear drain plug are is I talked about once.

Lexmex

Where front differential is and where drive axle goes through.

Lexmex

Now you can see the light through it.

This is where we think our culprit is, where the torque converter hooks on. And perhaps the torque converter itself.

The flywheel/drive plate is quite firm.

What we think happens is that the torque converter is loose and is banging around the sides of this area, just enough and wham, fluid pops out, too.

Lexmex

Ah, the flywheel/drive plate, this is what the torque converter hooks on to.

Notice my exhaust piping and no precat. Also note in the lower right the transfer case where the axle goes through.

Lexmex

An axle, driver's side. Other one has those clamps I put on.

It's like looking at pictures of a surgery. Hope everything goes well for you Ron, I mean while you're in this position you might as well install a high performance TC. Kidding of course.

Another look at drive plate, transfer case area.

Lexmex

Closer shot of drive plate.

Lexmex

Well, that might not be out of the realm of possibilites. This guy we are going to can make them. Keep in mind the truck was working just some noise in the torque converter area and fluid leaking. No CELs, but again not safe.

Lexmex

Lines for the tranny cooler.

Lexmex

Rear manifold, no precat.

Near where thermostat goes.
