Tom,

Suggest you:

- remove the pan and check the flange to see if there are dings around the bolt holes

- remove them with a two ball peen hammers - put one in the bolt hole and hit the flat face with the other

- replace the cork gasket - cork is OK

- replace the bolts with self locking flange bolts http://tinyurl.com/y99jnfgk

- coat the pan flange with Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket No. 3 Sealant http://tinyurl.com/y7zmy4rw

- put the cork gasket on the pan flange and coat it with Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket No. 3 Sealant

- install the pan on the transmission case and hand tighten the bolts lightly

- torque the bolts to 12 ft lb

- service the transmission

- go for a test drive

- have a beer when you get home to celebrate fixing the problem

Subject: [GMCnet] Transmission Leak

A little update on the shifting issue I had. Had replaced the modulator and it did not seem to improve the shifting up and down
from 3rd to 2nd so I
took it into the truck and RV service center near me and had a transmission service done to it and now everything is back to normal,
so it had to
have been an issue with filter or level of fluid as well. It is a bit difficult to get a good reading on fluid level on this thing.
Anyhow, glad it
is back to shifting smoothly. I did notice that the transmission pan seems to be leaking a whole bunch more. Leaves a good square
spot on the
driveway. Is this something this is typical when a service is done, or did my service place muck something up?
