I have a 94 dodge ram thats been sitting for about a year now, i drive it around the yard but it leaks tranny fluid like crazy. There are 2 holes at the bottom of the bell housing and the fluid leaks there, about pours straight when running and i put some in. It started in the tranny pan but i sealed it up and now it comes out the bottom holes. any ideas of places to take it?
 
Front seal or pump seal has failed. Trans will have to be dropped and converter removed to replace the $5 seal. Any chain transmission shop can do the work. You can call around to get estimates based on my opinion.
 
Front seal and pump seal are the same thing.

Dodge transmission's vent thru the top of the pump in the bellhousing, so if its overfilled it will leak out the bell housing and look like a pump seal leak.

The pump bushing is almost always what causes the fluid to leak by, the seal doesn't hold the pressure back, the bushing does, so when the bushing goes bad the fluid blows out the seal and leaks out

Also sometimes the bushing cuts and ruins the neck on the converter, so you might need a new converter as well.
 
slipping?

Also it had a hard time going from 2nd to 3rd, kept going back to 2nd is that a lack of fluid or gear problems with the 39s?
 
Low fluid will cause it to do weird shit, Make sure the fluid is full, You check a dodge idling in NEUTRAL, thats the biggest mistake is everybody checks them in park, and they don't circulate fluid in park so they show way high compared to neutral.

If the fluid is good and it still has a 2-3 shift problem then the problem is probably the direct drum piston seals, the groove was cut incorrectly from the factory, so the oil leaks by the lip seal and causes no 2-3 and delayed reverse engagement.
So you need a rebuild in that case.
