Hi
can anyone tell me where to look for the changes to be made on the Flight Pitch tranny ?
maybe in the 59 chassi manual??

The 1959 manual has the changes to the flight pitch tranny. Rebuilders recommend using the 1959 info, not the 1958 info, when servicing or rebuilding.

Here is a link to an article about the flight pitch written by a BCA member who has rebuilt several of them:

Where can I find new seals for my flight pitch?

The torque ball seal kit can be purchased from CARS, Inc: http://www.oldbuickparts.com/catalog/up ... -c-76.html

You would need to call them to see if they have the torque converter seal or any other seals for the Flight Pitch - they sometimes get NOS parts and kits. I have seen the lip seal kits come up on ebay a few times, I bought one for myself. As far as I know, there is no one reproducing Flight Pitch kits.

My flight pitch trans is leaking a lot of fluid as the car is running. I don't know transmissions very well. Is the problem likely the torque converter seal? Anyone know more about these that can offer some insight?

Where exactly is it leaking from?
