Hi, I have a 1974 Scimitar with the above auto box. I have quite a fast oil leak from somewhere, which seemed to appear after a kick down. Now I know nothing about auto boxes so it will likely go to a gearbox specialist, but I wondered if there was any helpful advice out there?
The box was reconditioned in April 2002 by the previous owner (I have bills to prove it). Having crawled under the car all I can say is that the leak seems to be coming from the front of the box, leaking out of sight and running down the sump in the middle. Nothing leaks until I start the engine, then it would fill a mug in about 5 minutes or less. Does this sound like a seal or something else?
Has anyone any experience of how much it would cost to get a specialist to remove (if necessary) and repair it? I would hope not as much as a modern auto box where I have heard horror stories running into thousands of pounds. I live in Luton, any recommendations of garages? I reckon I could fill the fluid and drive just a few miles.
Cheers, Carl.
