OK, so to continue on my transmission/dipstick issues. I have a 66 bird. Leaking from the Trans/dipstick so I purchased a new dipstick and o-ring - aftermarket chrome one.
When I pulled the old dipstick out of the c-6 transmission, roughly 2-3 qts of fluid came gushing out (thankfully I had my catch pan underneath). Is this normal?
The trans was checked - full, while running a couple days before...
Just seems odd that much fluid would come out by just removing the dipstick... So I put the new one in, with the new o-ring and have mounted the dipstick to the bellhousing bolt - everything is clean underneath so now I'll check for leaking again before I do much more.
Just seems odd I'd lose a couple qt's of fluid like that...
