Well I finally cogitated and realize that my tranny is not/has not been leaking the tranny fluid all this time. I know because I just had a used one installed and it leaks just the same - like a sieve.

So what might be the likely culprit? The transmission place obviously did not recognize it as they put two used trannies in the SD before I got one to work properly; they did not know how to adjust the vac modulator.

Short of being a worn place in a metal line (like the cooler line to the bottom of the radiator), are there a couple of places that I should check out? Or mysterious washers or something?

Any suggestion is appreciated - no matter how far out.

Thx.
