thank you Ross that is what i needed to hear

sorry it is a 56 clipper and the torque converter is tight to the plate and the threaded rods are through the plate.
the housing is not seated i could try to pull them together with the bolts but im afaraid if the converter is not in correctly i will breack the trans housing. should i pull it apart again and re seat the converter? i removed it to replace the front seal .

I have installed the trans and the case is 3/8 inch gap from the engine. the torque converter is fully seated can i pull the case together with bolts or do i need to reseat the converter further back in the transmission?
thank you guys in advance

I read the manual but could not find mention of the seal and was not sure if there was a special tool or if it is straight forward and will be looking for the leak source as i take the tranny out thank you both for your help

I have a leak at the front of the trans and belive the front seal is leaking, I will be replacing the front seal on my 56 clipper with ultramatic trans but can not find the procedure for removal and installation can you help with this because i am sure if i dont do it right i will be doing it again and will possibly make a small problem into a trans replacement thanks you guys are the best at Packard service

i used a stout chain and padlock

someone used to make adjustabe pegs I have them they are great. my disk coversion and silvertown radials moved the tires slightly out board, they would scub the outer fender at full turn and i used them to lift the entire front end an inch, which solved the problem, then adjusted torsion to keep level.

all, im sure of is it is not valve covers and is not oil sending unit, it seems to be low on the engine in front of tranny.
I drove to a small show about 10 miles from the house yesterday and when I parked there was a trail leading to my car and a puddle about as big around as a coffee cup bottom it sat for about two hours, she was a qt low I added and came home.
looked in driveway this morning and just a damp spot on drive way yesterday i backed in to parking spot, at home just drove in and parked.
im going to try the 10 mile drive and park today

i noticed today a small puddle at the rear of the engine, and after examination it was determined to be engine oil.
im looking at a rear main seal and dropping the oil pan so i was considering the melling- olds oil pump conversion and was going to see if there is any advice on changing this while the engine is in the car thank you as always you guys are the best

a couple of years ago i bought a system from ABS and it is an electric power assist with front disk and the drums remained on the rear. i finaly got around to putting the car on the road as my wife was sick for the last year and has since pased away but I have now put this system to use and am happy to report that it has worked well. i used a power brake petal and had to trial and error the bracket that came with the booster { it angles inward toward the center of the car not up out or down which were all good guesses}/Volumes/buddys flash drive/1057 Electric High Power Master (401KB).pdf the brakes were straight forward and the only problems were they sent rotors for a senior car and we had to do a swap out and my first resevior bottom pushed out when i first pressured up the unit i have recieved a new resivoir which is one piece so i assume it happened before. if i can answer more i would be glad to, the brakes were around $1600 .00 but this is brakes , my grand kids and my self are worth good reliable brakes . buddy tucker
