If you just all of a sudden lost everything like my first tranny then you lost your pump and will need a full rebuild with a pump. I guess I lost my clutch pack, so I will need a full rebuild and a new pump. :) I will let you know on the rebuild.

Well, I added fluid the other day... & she's spinning. But leaked out again, I think it's coming from the cooler line. Gonna check & tighten. Hope that's the only place & hope she'll spin in water too. :/

well, checked the cooler lines, and doesn't seem to be coming from there... dammit... lol But jus about as fast as I added I think it came out.... so now I am thinking front seal...??? Is this anything someone else has had? I am thinking since it sat for a little time, that I may have blown it out???

There's a freeze plug in the tailstock. I have had them fall out, fluid leaks right out the back of the trans. If it was the front pump seal, you would see tons of red trans fluid in the bilge. If its the tailstock plug, you won't see the fluid as much cause its leaking into the driveshaft bellow.

Is it coming out of the vent on the top of the tranny? A bad tranny will build heat and puke the fluid out the vent.

Nope. Checked all that. Rear dry. All hoses & connections dry but getting fluid in the transom. Only place left is front where I can't see.

Trs Drives And Transmissions
 
Congrats on the new boat but sorry about the transmissions. I got a new to me scarab panther that I am repowering over the winter and converting to bravo drives I don't really like how it rides with the engines forward. At this point
I have 2 transmissions and drives that I am trying to sell if your interested let me know.
Thanks
