    Warning!!!!!! Warning!!!! Pass it on

    Add a bushing or a couple orings on your dip stick. That is until you need to check your fluid!

    We walked out from the store today and saw a big puddle under the truck. It was red and so I focused i
    On the trans. I found it dripping from the trans pan on the pass side. My fear was something inside chipped or broke and went through the pan. I had it towed to my cousin's shop and we pulled the pan and cleaned it. My cousin and I were shocked by what we found. The dip stick had worn clean through my transmission pan.

    I have a 2012 auto 68 trans

    I guess it was just time to change the filter. We mig welded a tiny bead and painted the outside of the pan. I'll update if anything else changes.

    Add a couple o-rings to temporarily lift it up between fluid checks.

    But regardless seems like an easy fix between fluid checks no matter the trans, just encase. Such a wierd failure...
