Trans fluid coming out of dipstick tube.

Started up the IROC today and have trans fluid coming out of the dipstick tube. I'm thinking maybe a vent is plugged? What should I check?

Re: What the... 1987 iroc rear brakes

I just finished rebuilding mine not too long ago. I learned that the caliper piston has to be screwed in not compressed to get new pads to fit. There is a special caliper tool to do this.

Re: Big brake upgrade.

E brake is on mounts. Works like a drum brake against the inside of the rotor. Rotor has a small drum built into the back of it that acts as the e brake. Pretty good idea.
