mess of a transmission
so i mentioned a little back, i had my truck up on jacks for a couple of days, and in combinaiton with the slope of my driveway and worn out transmission seals, i leaked all the fluid out. Then, not yet knowing what had happened, i drove it for a week and half all the while wondering why its running like a complete bag and making a burning smell.
So anyhow now its leaking fluid at all times. I added some stop leak, but that only seems to have slowed the rate of leak. I suspect there are broken teeth since it grinds here and there. I dont mind a few rough edges, but i cant be adding a litre of oil every week. my question is this, should i try just changing the seals to stop it leaking, or is the damage likely so bad that im burning through fluid and it needs a rebuild?
Second, is dropping the pan and changing the seals just as easy as removing the bolts i see holding it on...
thnaks!
