1981 E250 Transmission leak
Greetings,
New guy to the site....just aquired a 1981 E250 from a Fire Department yesterday.
47,000 orrig miles!
351W engine and automatic (which I haven't identified yet)
Driving it home, I developed a major tranny fluid leak at the bellhousing.
Made it home by stopping and adding a total of 6 quarts.
Question is:
What type of transmission came in this series van with the 351W engine....and what is typically the leak culprit?
I want to use the van to haul and tow.
Dave
Well.....got the front seal changed out and the van is back to (almost) normal operation. Reverse is a little sluggish, but I need another quart of tranny fluid (came up short one).
It has the C6 transmission I figured out.
