Leaky Transmission Plug and bad 5th gear combo ?

[hogie]

I have a slow leak at the drain plug and can't get it to stop. I have already tried to use some teflon tape and tighten it a bit more, but it has only slowed it down.

The other problem is that 5th gear pops out as soon as I let out the clutch. All the other gears engage quickly and smoothly. There isnt a clearance problem for the shift lever. It will stay engaged if there isn't a load on the drivetrain...i.e. driveshaft disconnect or the wheels off the ground.

I read that there is a roll pin or something that can pop out, but I can't find the thread here or on hybridz. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

Time to check out your friendly neighborhood tranny shop.

Got three spairs in the attic already! The bad part is I don't know what condition they are in. I was hoping to pull this one in the winter and replace it with one of the others.

Since 4th gear was the same between the 5 speeds and the 4 speeds and mine should

of had a 4 speed anyways it really isnt hurting me too much at the moment.
