Well, not terrible but not great news. When the shop was putting fluid in the tranny after the install there was a leak/crack around the nipple of the case. The shop said it was no big deal and a simple weld would take care of it but I wanted them to contact Frank at Kormex to make sure that this would not void any warrantee. This is apparantly part of the inspection at Kormex so...... maybe it happened in shipping since it is an open palate shipment. The shop said it was small and that noone would know unless they put fluid in it. Kormex said it would stand behind the tranny one way or another. The weld happens today. Will post results.
