I just finished breaking in my rebuilt 305 and "new" 700R4 trans. The trans was working in the Suburban it came from, but I still replaced some seals. It was relatively clean with no sign of leaks.
Took the tail housing off to change the speedo gears and replaced the tail housing gasket, rear seal, and both speedo O-rings.
Replaced the front seal, dip stick O-ring, TVE cable O-ring, TVE connector and O-ring, pan filter, and pan gasket.
Cleaned the inside and installed a new lockup kit while the pan was off.
Now it's leaking around the dip stick tube. Very slow leak that increases with engine RPM. The tube is fully inserted in the body. Maybe the O-ring "fell" inside?
Any ideas?
