33478, Tranny Fluid Leaking...

okay this is a post for calcio20. His browser isnt working on the site. He was talking about leaking tranny fluid. He said after driving around and then parking, there is a puddle of tranny fluid near his driver side tire. Tranny fluid was changed 5,000 miles ago. He also has the final drive mod.

Hahah there's his problem. He could have done one of two things both concerning the case that holds the drive gears (locating behind the driver side wheel, behind the fender guard thingy :) ):
1. The seal (gasket) cracked, or broke or he missed a spot, causing the tranny fluid to come out slowly - eventually ripping the hole bigger and making more fluid come out.

2. He might have bent the final drive gear cover and thus the fluid is coming out the hole where it isn't flush.

Or he might have done both. He should definetly go and take off the cover, check for uneven spots and put some more gasket on - use lots just to make sure :)

And make sure he keeps the tranny fluid up, don't want to see him ruin his tranny or gears!
