Hi again all,
I am trying to get my truck on the road before winter hits here, the last major thing i need to do is fix my transmission leak, it leaks pretty bad. I believe its either where the xfer case meets the tranny, or the rear of the tranny itself. My first question is, is there an o-ring seal or some sort of gasket where the xfer case bolts up to the transmission? My second question is, how do you get to the bolt on the top of the transfer case, ive tried multiple extensions w/swivel joints, and cant seem to break it loose, i have a feeling i need to remove the trans mount and lower the trans down a little. Any help would be great, thanks!

 

I would drop the tranny down, and use a wrench. Not a whole lot of space to work under there without making the space...

 

Ya drop it down off of the rear crossmember. Also using a ratchet wrench helped me. Some used the 4wd shifter hole to drop down the extensions and work it from the inside of the cab.

 

what year truck and trans you dealing with ?

 

Its 94, im not sure what trans it is, i havent really looked at it. Ill be working on it some more in the morning and have more info. thanks

 

Oh and I forgot to mention, the only seal at the rear of the transmission, in between that and the transfer case, that I can think of would be the output shaft seal. Other than that, it may just be the dipstick o-ring leaking and running back there

 

aparently its the auto trans ?

 

Yes, its automatic, and i can watch it drip, where the transmission bolts up to the fer case. it looks like to me there is a hole or a cut out on the bottom of the transmission, where it bolts up to the xfer case, that is where i can see it leaking.

 

Its not the dipstick o-ring, there isnt any other leaks other then where i said in the above post, it is relatively clean back to that point.

 

should be some kind of seal at the back of tranny when you pull tcase off youll see. just did same seal on mine but its manual trans. go with skf from napa or oem from dodge
