Lippert Leaking

[Seamus McShank]

I am dealing with the same problem. They not only did not have a replacement o-ring available, they could not tell me where to get one or exactely what size it is. Lippert's response was to soak and clean the existing o-ring and use Permatex red or orange to seal. I did that and it did not work. I found a fatter o-ring at Napa and installed it yesterday, it still leaked. I'm now looking for an even fatter/deeper o-ring to try. I may resort to making a gasket myself as I'm tired of taking it apart, dealing with the ATF cleanup.

Thak you! Very informative post. I anticipated what you cite. Sad that Lippert is so impotent on this fix.
