It's a automatic and leaking transmission oil where the lever bolt goes into the transmission (see pic..because i may not have name correct)....it there a way to stop the leak? Aeasy fix? or does this require taking pan off ect? ps: i did make sure the bolt holding the lever going into the transmission was tight (it is) pic of car (poor lighting) other then this leak the car runs great and is in really nice condition...has 168k original km's....was owned by older lady who could no longer drive |

well trans leak is now fixed! i figured was over my head,so took into trans place today...they fixed that leak,plus a couple minor ones and replaced gasket/fluid/cleaned completely up. cost was $150...i was very impressed!...maybe it's me,but also seems to idle better now and shifting is more smooth...
so shout out to ALLteck transmission here in richmond/vancouver cdn ...now on to trying to fix the speedometer cable...this looks like fun... http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techar.../photo_02.html Last edited by tom_vilsack; September 16th, 2011 at 12:47 AM. |
