i have a 700r4 trans and it leaks on the passenger side when it sits. ive repalced all the seals trans gasket and filter, dipstick tube seal and the TV cable seal i still lose about a 1 quart in a week or less. Any ideas?

I also have another 700r4 and it doesnt shift from 3-4 very well. I have to feather it to get it into 4th. any thoughts?

Thanks for any and all help

 

Need a little more specific than passenger side, if its leaking down the transmission from somewhere up top, you may be overfilling it. Also, can you be more specific about what "all" the seals entails, because you may not have actually replaced them all.

On the 2nd one, start with a tv cable adjustment, if its still having the issue, I would check that the valvebody doesn't have a sticking valve.

 

by the seals i mean the front and rear dipstick tube and the tv cable housing. the drip looks like it might be coming fromthe pan gasket again. ive tried adjusting the tv cable again on the other one and it still does the same thing. thanks for the help

 

Check the lines going to the radiator/cooler from the side of the tranny. When I first got mine, this is where it leaked. I replaced the lines with rubber transmission hose (yes people will argue against it), new fittings and never had a problem again.

 

i put all new lines in when i had it apart for the 4th time. it just has me stumped. i might pull the trans out of my 92 c1500 and put it in there i dont know yet

 

You must get back under the car with rags and a can of brake clean and maybe goggles. Now spray and wipe spray and wipe. Then let it sit and after a while get back under the car and find out exactly were that leak is coming from so you can fix it.

 

before i installed it i thoroughly cleaned it with degreaser brake cleaner etc. I put it in just before winter and parked it. then i took it out of storage and i noticed the leak. i suspect something simple i overlooked. thanks for the advice edwardgp

 

grab some cardboard "longer is better" and cover the ground with it where the leak is suspected after you have cleaned. This will show you exactly where its dripping, just chase it up. If its on the passenger side its gotta be your dipstick tube, trans lines, or pan gasket. Nothing else on that side besides a crack would allow it to leak.

 

done the dipstick tube checked the trans lines and replaced the pan gasket. a crack is what im afraid of though. getting to be a pain pulling th trans out done it about 4 times with mine and 4 on my 89 T/A.

 

Before pulling the transmission get under again and look around has the trans been dropped on the concrete or what.

 

i dont think it was dropped. been kinda cold here to get under it had damn snow for 2 days thanks for thte tips

 

I change one in the snow because I had a hot date and it was my dd. I don't blame you for laying low, my hands were so cold when I was done I thought I would get frostbite. Let us know how it turns out after the thaw.

 

it happens to be the pan bolts losening up shortly after tightening. im going to be gettin a new pan and new bolts anyways cause the pan flanges is so warped i couldnt straighten it out. thanks for all the help
