might have to pull the plate to find out whats going on. if you pull the silver floor pan you can pull the plate out thru the top, gaskets on the top cover is re-useable

It will from somewhere. The problem I found is I wasn't having any leaking issues yet. My trans was building up pressure bad and forcing the reverse lights on.

For Hurst shifter owners. Issue found.

This is one way. You need to vent the trans somehow. The stock shifter is the vent for the trans the hurst shifter seals up the trans and it is lacking a vent. Pressure will build and cause seal popping problems over time
