1354, chronic tranny leak... kinda long
Posted by jsupetran, Jun-27-03 08:28 AM
my transmission started leaking about 6 months ago. i used my warranty since my mechanic said that the transmission seal was no longer good and it would take 400 to fix it. i go to satan, and the warranty covered the resealing of the tranny, and it cost 800 but warranty covered eveything except 60 in little cost. it was all good until i found a leak, again a month ago. i said fuck it and noticed the leak came from the rear of the oil pan (like it did six ago) and paid 61 for the tranny guy to fix it. all good until yesterday. i installed my tranny cooler and after jacking up the car, i found a leak in the same area. i know that it wasn't from the tranny cooler since the leaks came in the back of pan. i then drive for 3 min to check if my car was doing well with the cooler and parked it. then i found three more small leaks, in the back of the tranny pan.

this thing is pissing me off! any clue?

After you had the seal "sealed" did you go easy on the car or did you really get on it? Be honest. Sounds to me like they replaced the front pump seal. If you got on it real hard, or w/e your normal driving is, may have unseated it or blown it out again without letting it properly seal.

Your saying you see them right behind the pan? If you think its coming from the pan itself thats pretty easy to fix. If its been removed before its possible they may have bent the pan removing it.
