I ask  your indulgence for seeking help twice in a week.
Whilst lying under my  sumpless engine in the course of curing an increasing 
oil leak from same I  became aware of  an oil drip, this time of gear oil. It 
is coming  from between the cover plate which fits on the left side of the 
overdrive  (and to which the solenoid is attached) and the main overdrive 
casing.  This leak is between annoying and unacceptable.
Can this plate be removed  in place to remake the joint or must I pull the 
gearboxout?

David,
As I recall, the shaft which rotates to operate the valve is very tricky to  
seal on the transmission side.I think I have a small spacer on top of the 
o-ring  to seal it.
 
Best, Mike Moore
