Just wondering what is going on..
WCT5 trans,
as I attempt to pull the drive shaft out, I get trans fluid leaking out from the tailshaft of the trans...
There is nothing in the GM shop manual that suggests fluid will drip from the trans when the ds is pulled?
What's going on here? Any info would be appreciated.
TIA

normal. It will like a little fluid out esp if you have the front higher than the rear.

 

I just pulled my drive shaft out yesterday. It leaked lots of transmission lube when I pulled the yoke out. It must be normal.

 

It's normal. Do not worry, but do not forget to replace the lost fluid.

 

if it really bothers you pick up an extra yoke to put in there from a junkyard

 

as normal as normal can be.

 

Great to hear guys - many thanks
It just floors me when after reading and re-reading the unexpected happens... I'm sure you guys know what I mean At least this time I kept my cool and didn't throw, punch, kick or even curse the car

farther more one of these can be helpful in cutting down how much fluid that you lose.this will plug right into the tail shaft.

The right size Tylenol bottle works as a plug too!
