1997 31TH leaking fluid...
Hi all...
Tranny: 1997 31TH
Need some inside info from you 31TH experts here. Maybe Master Tech if he's around
I've had a fluid leak for quite some time now. It's gotten bad enough now that I'm going through about a gallon or so every 200 miles or so.
First, I am wondering what the known common issues are with this tranny?
And am I likely looking at a seal issue or is there another part, like the Transmission Control Solenoid that could be leaking? I here that it is very common with this tranny.
I have not been able to get it on a rack and can not tell from underneath where the leak is.
If it ends up being a seal issue, can you offer me some tips on replacing it?
Thank you for your help.
John
