Has anybody else had a problem with leaking transmission fluid? Every night my car dribbles out a few drops onto the garage floor. The dealer says he can find nothing wrong with the tranny and is blaming the supercharger for overheating the tranny and causing the transmission fluid to be forced out through the overflow valve. If it weren't for this, the car would be perfect, so I'm eager to find out whether anybody else has had a similar problem.

I saw one other guy had posted somewhere about this issue.
I have not had this problem, but when the Ford dealer did my S/C they took the valve-body out of my trans, changed some spring and opened a valve to promote additional cooling of the trans.
They have been doing this mod to all their S/C Mustangs with auto.
Also some guys are upgrading the stock trans cooler to a larger aftermarket trans cooler.

I had the same problem I had to take it in 4 times before they finally fixed it. First they said it was overfilled from the factory and it was relieving through the vent tube. I will check the ticket and find out what the fix was and the part number tomorrow evening.

Thanks for the info, guys. If nothing else, the Ford service folks are consistent: They also told me that the transmission was overfilled with fluid from the factory and it was spilling out through the overflow vent. I've taken the car in only twice, so if the third time is a charm then I'll be one up on you, RICVA05 ;-)

On Monday I'm taking my car up to a Ford dealer in Buena Park, CA. Fortunately, the Saleen guys are just down the road from the dealer and they've agreed to come over to help the dealer get it fixed. RICVA05, any additional info would be greatly appreciated!
