[DeTomaso] Replacing seals on ZF

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Thanks Tomas.....I'll live with the 1-2 drops a week until the ZF needs to come out to have them replaced...
   
  I only noticed more pushing out at the end of Silver State last week but when I checked the ZF fluid level it wouldn't hold anything more then about 4 ounches...some of that could have come out of the breather tube as well....but it definately was the ZF and not the engine.

  The bottom gasket is relatively trivial but requires trans removal. The rear cover could possibly be replaced in car. Between the rear cover and the bearings there are shims. These may be tricky to keep from falling all over the place during assembly. This is easier with the trans standing upright on the bellhousing. Make sure the new gasket is identical to the old as input and output axle play is affected by gasket thickness.
