Re: 72 C10 SBC 350 - Valve Seals (Stock)

The pan was most definitely nearly leaking all around, though that is not to say the shift seal wasn't before to and they where mixed up. The pan leak would run on the transmission cover and was basically wet on nearly ever bolt around the pan.

The speedometer, while not actually making a drop stop is wet around it.

So I'll take her back to the shop tomorrow. Hopefully they don't see a need to replace the shifter shaft, since that will mean pulling the pan off again (but in for a penny, in for a pound).

For the speedometer, I will suggest if it is the aluminum bullet one go ahead and replace it with the steal one and a new speed gear. Read a lot about that bullet and then wear grove patterns on the gear. I am guessing that if it is not making a drip now, it will soon enough.
