Dave1647545494 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 95 t-bird 4.6 auto finally got a chance to check on my trans leak I though it was the pan gasket but when I check it out it was leaking between the tail housing anf the main body and all the bolts that hold the tail on were loose. I tightened up the bolts and the leak stopped and a vibration I'd been trying to track down went away. what can make those bolts back out? I checked the usual suspects the u joints are good and the tranny and differential mounts are good. I'm thinking out of balance drive shaft or maybe a bad bearing in the tailshaft any input appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA In Progress Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Could be the tailshaft bushing, but usually when those are bad the seal will leak as well. If the vibration issue is gone now, I'd try some threadlocker on the bolts, and if they don't loosen up again I wouldn't worry too much about it. Who knows how many people have worked on the car over the years, or what has been done to it. Someone may not have tightened the tailshaft correctly and the bolts finally worked loose.
