Title: ATF Leak
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 24 June 2014, 22:31:07
I have one.  :(  Any favourite places to start looking?  :-\

The leak seems to be coming down the back in that favourite place for all leaks.  :(  and it all looks OK at the rad end and the flexi pipes!  ;)

TIA!  :)

Pull the rubber plug off at base of bell housing and feel with your finger inside bell housing.  If wet with atf you have a leak on gearbox shaft seal - cheap and easy to fix, but you do have to drop the autobox out :(  Ideally need help plus a good trolley jack (car on ramps helps) - talking from experience it a heavy old lump, but easy enough to drop out, and refit.

Thanks dbug!  :y

Sounds like the ideal 'opportunity' to take the sumps off and change the ATF and filters etc!  :y

Can't wait!!  ::)  ;D

Change the o-ring on the tip of the shaft too! Had to do the sealing job twice because missed that little c*nt! :D

its not that bad, just use a washing up bowl, one sump at a time, and then refill using a fence sprayer thingy.. :)
and you can re-use the filter,just wash it in petrol.

Not much James, it's just drips but I'm not sure how long it's been like it to be honest.  :-\

I've been thinking about changing the ATF for a while now so I'll just have to get stuck in soonish I think!  ::)
