1) Get a triple edge performance tranny and be done with it
2) Get your exhaust hangers fixed because most likely with the supports missing it is just creating extra stress on the exhaust joints and could have caused your leak.
3) it most likely is not rusted through already, but you are the only one who can see your exhaust.........jack it up and get under there and look. It is the only way.
 
I'm with ^^^^

You identified where the leak is located and the likely cause of the leak. Fix the two hangers, then get a new manifold to DP gasket and install it. It's a two bolt procedure in all the H and W bodies I've seen. Yours is newer than I've experienced..but it's probably the same.
 
yeh i found out its the exaust flange leaking 7.49 at autozone lol i got it on hold im going to pick it up here in about 15 min and if i had the 3grand for a new trany would of got one and my trany is already messin up so looks like ill have to buy a new one ne way lol and ive actualy taken it ez on this one cuz my warrenty is expired now lol my car is only 850miles from breakin 100k i run the $h!t out of it its about a 60m round trip to work everyday
 
No crap...THREE TRANSMISSIONS!?!? Ever thought about how much money you would save if you didn't drive like a idiot? What do you do neutral bomb it with slicks?

And a good transmission from Dave is less than 2 grand., not over 3.
 


yeah.......triple edge performance has better pricing than you think and they are made for taking a beating(to a point) If I were you, that is where I would buy from.
 
dont ask my how i destroyed them i dont drop them into gear at all like ive said ive taken it ez on the latest one and its still ****in up it slips like mad when the tranys not warm and yes it is 2 bolts but idk what size they are ive tryed everything and it eather seems to big or to small a half inch fits on there but not all the way down the bolt and its not striped
 
just standerd trans from the dealer the 2 trans i had replaced were under warenty i got the extended when i got the car it was up till 78000 miles it now has 99896 miles on it the first one went out at about 32000 the 2nd one went shortly after and i got a reckless drivein ticket b/c of it went out at about 46 or so when i got the car had 12k miles on it
 


unbelievable........well, if it goes out after your warranty is up check out triple edge. Read around, I have never heard of his trannys breaking down short of massive HP........they are reasonable. Check out his website. Lots of info on our tranny's there.
