Ok peoples I have been dealing with a tranny that leaks fluid.

Not sure were it comes from exactly but in the past I have had some "lines" replaced. But obviously they have begun to leak again since I am making this post.

Thing is the car shifts fine and other then the fact that it makes a mess of of driveway I simply just top it off with tranny fluid (NAPA style) and when I do add tranny fliud I hardly add any compared to the amount that appears to be coming out.

SoI just not sure whats going on, this is the original tranny and I am approaching the 100,000 mile marker and dont want to replace this thing until its slipping gears and blows up, so what could it be peoples.......

Any other random preventive maitenance(sp?) I can do to squeeze more borrowed time out of this tranny, mine has been bullet proof so far and want to keep it that way.

 

Check the cooling lines they run to the radiator they are rubber and prone to leaks and when they leak it runs down over the tranny and looks like it's leaking ....
Add a second tranny cooler (one of the BEST ways to keep the tranny)

 

Sweet, I will def check that out.

How hard is the install on another cooler?

 

it's not hardto do, it should come w/every thing needed in the box,
Just don't forget to top off your tranny when your done.
the hardest part will be finding real estate to mount it

 

Any recommendations as to where to mount it?

Just getting my info together for when I finally have to tackle this (prob during winter)

 

the only place that I really saw/see is in front of the A/C condenser maybe bad venge or silverknow a better spot.....also don't for get to plug the line holes in the rad

 

I run BOTH keep the radiator one first then use the secondary to further cool it take the output line from the radiator then run that into the second one then the output of the second one into the tranny ...

For mounting I mounted my 6 pass onto the power steering cooler loop IFO the radiator ...

 

thought about that, but I figured it would drop the trans tempto low
