    I bought a brand new cover for the bottom opening where the PTO goes.

    I put the gasket in and torqued everything in and when I went to fill it it's pouring out of there.

    I'll try to load the video but I wasn't able to live video before for some reason. I think it said the file was too large.

    I thoughtt all these covers and gaskets were the same. I gave him my transmission model everything bolted up and fit..

    Did they give me the wrong gasket?

    What the hell?

    As we get older it get easier to overlook the simple things. 9 times outa 10 when I have struggles it boils down to something simple or basic overlooked. 2nd set of eyes never hurts and don't ever feel stupid for asking. Just be glad its an easy fix.

    Had a younger tech pull that a couple weeks ago. Don't feel too bad. He tried to send it out on the road that way...
