So I get my old school style Iceman x-member installed......

[383S10]

Got it installed with an Energy Suspension trans mount which was a tight fit...........it raised the trans a little which now leaks at the tailshaft housing at the rate I drop every 2 minutes......my 9C1 700r4 has the trans mount attached at the tailshaft so there is now deflection on the trans/ or at the tailshaft.............has anyone else had this problem installing a non-factory crossmember? If so what was the solution....thanks..........

To start I would just pop in a new rear seal.

For about $4.00 it can't hurt.

Should fix the problem.

Picked up one today and also got a new rear trans seal so I can reseal this thing back up...........my ride has to be right mechanically for the power tour.........

Are you saying it is leaking where the tailhousing attaches to the case?

OOFA!!!! didn't think of that when 383S10 posted this.

Hope it didn't crack it installing it,

Nope it just started to drip at the point where tail and case come together..........got the gasket out of a kit and plan to replace also seal the outer edge also as a back up being careful not to get any in the trans .............
