Re: ATF Pan leaks, 96-97 cars
I've got a 96LSi that got a '98 Forester tranny swap. During the tightening of the pan bolts my nephew used a damned impact gun and overtightened a bolt or two (or twelve) and apparently bent the pan somewhere. Due to other factors I didn't drive the car after the initial test drive, and it has sat idle for a long time and all the ATF has leaked out.
I'm about to get it running again and I'm looking for a pan but can't find one. Can pan lips get straightened out? I've always heard it's hit or miss, but does anyone have any advice?
