They are two drain holes, one for trans and the other for freewheeling. 32 Confederate Bruce S.

I also notice a small leak from the gasket so I will be removing the plate to replace the gasket. I will be out of town for a month-will continue this then. Thank you. paul orednick 305 canal st lemont Il 60439

Actually, it would help if Paul could be more specific when asking questions so that we can provide the right answer to the question. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

OP pe1932c Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 110 Lemont Il	Please except my THANK YOU! You all tried to help me but I was wrong in my description etc. I now understand that the plate/hole I was referring to was the plate just forward (towards the engine). I believe that the whole there is correct. The trans oil coming out that hole is draining from my trans---PROBLEM! looks like I must pull the trans and reseal! Any other suggestions? paul orednick 305 canal st lemont Il 60439

So most likely your cluster shaft is leaking or your front bearing is leaking. Take the transmission apart and use gas tank sealer when installing the lower shaft. Put it around the hole before you slide the shaft in and then coat the outside when finished. As to the bearing, get a sealed bearing and remove the inside seal and keep the out seal. This way you can get oil to the bearing from the transmission. You can PM if you want more details. 32 Confederate Bruce S.

If so, that is not a plate, that is a sheet metal cover. Please be more specific. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"
