I have a 1951 special and the Dynaflow is leaking from the rear. I was wondering if there is a kit to put a th350 or th400 in the car that will match the original motor or would it be better to rebuild the old one.
It sounds like the torque ball is leaking, there is a kit for that. Probably the cheapest, quickest repair, as changing trannies could cause many problems due to the suspension.
If you MUST change trannie, the 1953 Special Dyna Flow will give you sparkling perfomance with a minimum of effort.:hurray:
After looking at it for a minute. It appears to be leaking where the torque tube meets the torque ball flange. I thing that someone rolled the seal in the torque ball flange. Possible??
Something to look for is dynaflow leaking thru torq tube into the differential. Check the diff. to see if tranny fluid has leaked in there. Not a good thing. If so, need to fix trans seal and drain and refill diff.
