Re: Help identifying a 3spd transmission

As Ross pointed out, someone apparently adapted the torque tube to the transmission. There should be a seal on the original universal joint flange so if oil is getting into the tube I would wonder if he is also correct that during the adaption the flange or tail housing was changed to one not able to seal or seal was removed or destroyed.
No idea about the rear end with a torque tube but I would think most, just like with axle seals, would still have some kind of pinion seal to keep the differential oil in the case and not running out into the tube. For transmission oil to be running down the tube and getting inside the rear end seems like there would be some kind of issue there too.
