I'll maybe give him a call, royse city is a bit of a drive but i'll keep it in mind

Jake's Performance in Sanger would be my 2nd choice. It's worth the drive to Royce City.

I got my engine and transmission done at Allstate right off Buckner just north of Bruton. They used to be called Classic Motorsports before they moved their shop off the side street and changed to Allstate Transmission. Dudes name is Matt. I wouldn't call him a TB specialist but they definitely know whats up and do good work. 214-388-2195

No offense to Matt, I don't know the guy but you really want someone working on your TR that doesn't specialize in them and especially the tranny. They are different than other 200's in other G body's. I'm sure they do fine work on the daily driver but not the TR.
And there has been a Allstate Transmissions on Buckner Blvd since the 70's so I'm not sure how it is new?

Trust me, I didn't just hand my ride over to just any ol mechanic I found. There was much discussion and over the couple of years, multiple vehicles of mine that he worked on, and the many times I'd been over to his old and new shop, and the many rides I saw they were working on that gave me the confidence to hire him for the job.

And, I really don't know the specifics about the move but they had a shop tucked away on the side street closer to 175 and maybe bought out or bought into the new location which is front and center to where the business is. I really wouldn't have suggested someone I didn't think was capable of the job. I do appreciate the advice and definitely agree and was really offering a suggestion because op expressed that distance was a factor

@ScullyTime It could just be the rear main seal where the transmission meets the motor. That was one of the things that mine was doing and I think it's pretty common with these cars. good luck

What is leaking out? Trans fluid (red, hopefully) or motor oil(generally black)?
A rear main seal is a pretty common leak especially if it is the original rope seal. Can be replaced with engine in car.
