My car only has 19k miles on it, though it is boosted, has headers, a Spec Clutch, etc. It has the stock driveshaft in it. Clutch was changed less than 2k miles ago.
Today, for the first time, the Mustang left fluid on my garage floor. It was red and coming from the general middle of the car. My first thought was that it was leaking from the trans drain bolt, since I had changed the fluid a few months back.
Nope. It is coming from that area where the driveshaft meets the transmission - I can clearly see red fluid collecting there. I've never changed that seal myself on any car. Is it something I can tackle on jack stands, or should I pay someone?
I don't mind paying, it's just a PITA to ensure they use the right fluid, use only 3.20 qts, yada yada yada. On the flip side, I don't want the stress of fucking it up.
And is it wise or cost effective to have the tail bushing replaced at the time, just in case?
