C6 leaking by the band adjustment nut

[youngone]

Hello I am in the process of pulling the engine to replace the front tranny seal. Now I noticed the nut where you adjust the band is leaking. It is just in front of the shift linkage on the tranny. It is a c6 out of a 78 f150.

Thanks for the help.

That nut has a rubber seal on the back of it... If that is where the leak is, replacing the nut should fix it.

Thanks, I will look into that.

For the record here is what one looks like:





Also, be sure you have the adjustment procedure on hand (or mark the position very carefully) adjusting it properly requires an inch pound torque wrench.
