    Posted: June-19-2015 at 7:27pm
I have a 76 ski tique with a ford 302 motor just installed, runs perfect but is leaking transmission fluid when running between bell housing and engine. The tranny is a borg warner as1-71c velvet drive with a ratio 1to1 . ive heard it could just be the front seal or does the transmission need rebuilt? I have recently aquired this boat so not sure if the tranny works or not as not had it out on the lake. Any suggestions?? your help is greatly appreciated.

From the other thread you posted your problem in;

You're correct on the seal, but it should not have any pressure behind it. Rebuild time.

I totally agree! Eric used to really comment a lot about the issue. When the pump is worn beyond tolerance, it will by pass oil and pressurize the area behind the seal. A new seal will not solve the root of the problem.

Who told you it was just a seal problem?

Put it in the water. Take some ATF with you. If it shifts normally and does not rotate in neutral, then all you need is the front seal. And yes you can leave the bellhousing in place.

Launching I suppose would be entirely up to you. You said it runs perfect.
I never know until I take a test ride. They can sound great on a trailer, then act differently on the water. Of coarse that's engine and not necessarily trans.
We already know the trans is old, if it has sat for any length of time, it's usually the seals.
