'57 Transmission Leak
My '57 has a fairly severe transmission fluid leak, leaking from a couple different seals. My mechanic first tried the cheap option of using an additive in the transmission fluid in the hopes it would act as a seal sweller, but that hasn't worked. He says that to repair the leaks, the tranny must be removed, and that unfortunately, the engine must be removed to access the tranny.
To all you '57 gurus out there, is this an accurate statement? I've been using this mechanic for a long time and he's competent and trustworthy, but if there are any other opinions out there I'd sure like to hear them before moving forward on such a repair.
Thanks,
G-Money
