I would advise taking it to a regular mechanic for diagnosis. Every trans shop wants to fix everything with a rebuild. If its just a seal leak, any shop can fix that.

A leak at the front of the transmission requires pulling the whole transmission out (its mated to the engine at the front). Depending on what is leaking, it may either be a simple repair (input seal) or maybe a big repair (torque converter), but any competent mechanic should be able to fix both of those. A transmission shop will want to charge for a full rebuild no matter what, which may be unnecessary. So have a regular mechanic diagnose the leak first. |
Ok, I have a mechanic that can look at it but he's always so busy. I want to do it myself. Gotta figure out exactly where the leaks are coming from.

Transfer case output seals you could handle yourself, probably. Others, take a lot more work. IF he is good, and can be trusted for opinion, trans seals may be more of a nuisence. Obviously if you have to add fluid very often, it needs to be fixed. If it's a drop or so maybe not so pressing of an issue.

Thanks, is there a write-up on the transfer case output seals, or vid? Not needing to add fluid. Just got under, and looks like small leak from the oil pan too. I'm pretty sure that needs a new gasket.

Update: since adjusting Throttle Cable, all is good. No more clunk in reverse. I plan on getting leaks taken care of. Do I need a tranny shop to handle that? Or can I?

Find your leaks. Determine how much fluid you are losing over a period of time, like a month. Report back with your findings of fluid loss and perhaps some ppl can guide you on which area is critical, and others can be left as a simple nuisance. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR TRANSMISSION AND/OR TRANSFER CASE BY YOURSELF! YOU WILL LIKELY GET INJURED! |
Ok, but the funny thing is I'm not losing fluid, I've been checking it every week. But, since the drain and fill in January, I can smell tranny fluid under the jeep but the fluid on dipstick smells good. I will be getting it looked next week, and I will report back.
Please don't forget me, I'll be back. |
