tail shaft leak

Hey guys,

I had a rear seal, new yoke, and bushing installed in my tremec 3550 and I still have a leak. Could something be amiss in the tail shaft? Any suggestion appreciated. This is getting frustrating. On a happy note the car is running great.

Never mine guys I'll just pull the tranny and figure it out.

Good luck! I have a Tremec 3550 in my Cobra and started getting a slipping
clutch - dropped the tranny and found that the front seal was leaking and
got on the clutch disk. Replaced the seal and the disc and all was well for
a while but now it is slipping again. Guess I'll be dropping it again in the
near future. Anyone else encountered this problem?

Tranny is fixed. Absolutely no leak. Wrong size bushing on the tail shaft and wrong size yoke contributed to the leak. The guy that repaired tranny said it had been like that since new. Glad I found a pro in my area.
