I have used D&D in the past with good success. Not making light of your situation, but you may have just caught ol' buddy on a bad day.

Raj, were you able to find that part number at work that you ordered from Rob at Tremec? Just wanted to compare what they told me just in case 2 different persons at Tremec have different advice on part numbers. I hate ordering the wrong part and losing time/money.

Their site says they are the largest 5/6 speed dealers, I am sure they have allot of people that purchase from them and I may have just caught someone on a bad day. That being said his comment of we sell transmissions and not tail seals is what annoyed me since they clearly have a parts section on their site but it is what it is and I did end up getting the help I needed from where I got the t56.

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier Chris but the part number is the same as you listed above.

Going by memory, my T56 mag was ordered 1stQ last year. It has the metal ring on the OD, rubber seal inside that so I would think you're safe Chris.

I wish that were the case, but mine appears to have the all rubber seal. Where did you buy yours from? I read somewhere that some dealers(like D&D) are replacing the seal before shipping to the customer. I got mine from Summit only 2 months ago.

I admit that I was a bit short with "canrc" on Monday. Thatis not the type of response we give our customers as people who have dealt with us know. A seal leak can be caused by a bad seal, mis-machined extension housing, extension housing porosity or a scored slip yoke. We have seen all of the above. I suggested that he contact his selling dealer(not D&D) for possible warranty coverage. He called me back and said his dealer would not answer his phone. He wanted to buy just the seal and I still did not think it was in his best interests to buy the seal only. Things got a little "hot" and I said some things I shouldn't have and which I apologize to "canrc" at this time. The seal
that we used to correct the initial "blowout" problem several years ago is a
steel cased automatic trans. seal sold by Dacco under part number 34743C
and is available nationwide.
