Ever since I purchased my '98 3.8L town and country lxi, I have been plagued with problems. Slowly but surely I have fixed every one of them. My original problem was a transmission fluid lead from the bell housing. I pulled the transmission and replaced the torque converter seal, the transmission oil pump rear gasket, and the laser cut square o-ring seal that goes around the transmission oil pump. Also I have replaced the transmission oil pan gasket with a new gasket.

Now my problem is that I have a slight dripping transmission leak from the bell housing by the inspection plate. Does anyone know what may be causing this leak? My only thought is the torque converter seal is the culprit. Also my wife says she has noticed a slight shudder when putting the gear selector into drive and depressing the gas pedal.

Can anyone give me some direction on what to check or adjust?

thanks

 

Did you replace the bolts for the front pump assy? The leak could be a torque converter or the pump seals.

 

or the leak could be a crack or wear out in the trans housing.

has the diff pin punched a hole in the case?
