Thanks for the response Doug.
I'm hoping to get a replacement seal from Tremec to replace the one I butchered for no reason so I have a backup.
It appears Hurst might have been able to seal the unit similar to the stock Tremec. Production cost of the seals must have been an issue?
I've requested info on the White Lightning from APT on their website twice now..........no contact, no surprise. I wish vendors wouldn't put contact info on their site if they just choose to ignore it.
I'll Be talking with Jim Goodlad at Hurst tomorrow to see what my stop-leak options are.
