My poor old mother in law celebrated her 87th yesterday. We went out to
the hospital where she is in a geriatric rehab program to get her back
on her feet so she can go back to where she was living.
I have transmission fluid leaking from my '87 300 SDL, had a garage
check
this out and they identified it was the Torque Converter leaking.
Replaced
the seal in the converter, now they state the front trans. pump is
leaking. What are they up against Thanks, Ralph,

I think he was referring to the mechanic.
If you're dropping the transmission, which one would have to do in order to
check the TC, you would also expect to closely inspect the front (pump) cover
