Now that my back feels a bit better I'm able to tackle all the things wrong with my car that I haven't been able to for a long time.

First thing - the tranny leak. I'm under the assumption it needs a pan gasket, however there are some other places it appears to be leaking.


Passenger side view - seems relatively clean to me. Doesn't look nearly as bad as the driver's side. Tranny was on the wood block because I was changing my mount - it's not how I jacked up the car.


I don't know much about the 700R4, but I'm assuming that this leak here isn't coming from the pan since it's not anywhere near it (The tranny mount). What isn't shown is that the tranny cross member is covered in oil.


A little blurry, but what's that plug thing? Is there a seal in there that could go? (Drivers side, towards the rear)


This one looks like a good place to start - you can see a fresh drop on it. Since it's not on the pan, could it be something else there, or is it running down from the pan?


Shot more towards the front - I saw something on the boot thing, and it's a ways away from the pan. Is it possible to be coming from somewhere else?


What I'm looking for are, what parts do I need and install instructions. As well as if I need to drain the fluid to install (Obviously I do for the pan, but what about each of the others)?

Because of my back, I won't be able to do them all in one day, so that's why I'm asking about which ones need fluid to be drained....

Thanks guys!

 

Anyone?

 

Looks like the trans pan gasket and the speedo gear seal.

 

Is the speedo gear seal the one in the fourth picture, with the drip on it?

How hard is that to change?

 

speedo seal is the second picture the pan gasket is the rest. Oil tends to find it's own path like water it ends up where it wants. Both the gasket and the seal are easy to replace just Don't use a cork gasket on the pan or it will leak a lot worse than it does now.

I would buy both the seal and a filter kit from the dealer you may pay a little more but the quality is much better.

 

The speedo seal is the one at the back of the tranny?

I assume fluid will pour out when I change that one?

 

A small amount will pour out.
