    Transmission leak question

    I've got a leaky transmission. (pretty sure it's an ST400-'65 Wildcat) I think I've narrowed it down to 2 things 1. Duh, the main gasket 2. the "connector" (this is what it is labeled on the tranny diagram, but I can find no other reference to it.) This is a small item that is hooked up behind...

This is facing so that it is readable from this direction. On the...
