Leaking Tranny and warrantee but minor mods. What to do?
Hey everyone, I noticed my tranny is leaking from the input shaft seal? Where the drive shaft and the tranny connect. Now i'm pretty sure there's a Round O seal that can be changed out from back there but i have warrantee on my car still until november or 36k and 75k on tranny and engine from FORD.
Here's the problem, I have added some mods since i bought the car, 315's in rear SCT Xcal II 93 Oct. Flow weld in's and MAC's O/R H The car came with some 4.10's already installed.(dealer didn't know
)
Should i reflash the ECU to stock remove the rear wheels and the H Pipe? or only the ECU and Maybe remove the H pipe? I know these mods aren't suspose to mess warrantee but i don't want them to dick around.

yeah it's not the fact that i would need to do it, it's if I should/need to. I can even put the stock mid pipe back if i had to on sunday and take the car in the next day.

Yeah i got the tuner at home and it takes what 2 minutes if i remember no big deal. and the wheels would take what another 20 minutes tops. only thing worrying me is the 4.10 Which they shouldn't notice with the tune or open the diff. I doubt i would get and rejections on fixing the leak. thanks everyone

RE: Leaking Tranny and warrantee but minor mods. What to do?
You can do both if you wish but I really doubt that the dealer would say anything. Its not a major fix and I can't see them flashing the car for something so visable. By the way, itsthe rear seal where the slip yoke goes into the trans, about a 20 min. job,not the front sealwhich is a WHOLE different story, good luck.
