Leakage Inspection

Leakage Inspection

CAUTION: Do not try to stop the fluid leak by increasing the torque beyond specifications. This may cause damage to the case threads.

Use the chart shown to inspect and correct any external transmission fluid leaks.








External Fluid Leaks

External Sealing
The transmission has the following parts to prevent external fluid leakage:
^ gaskets
^ lip-type seals
^ O-ring seals
^ seal rings
^ seal grommets

Fluid Leakage in Torque Converter Area

Part 1 Of 2:

Part 2 Of 2:

In diagnosing and correcting fluid leaks in the front pump support and gear and torque converter area, use the following procedures to locate the exact cause of the leakage. Leakage at the front of transmission, as evidenced by fluid around the torque converter housing, may have several sources. By careful observation it is possible, in many instances, to pinpoint the source of leak before removing the transmission from the vehicle. The paths which the fluid takes to reach the bottom of the torque converter housing are shown in the illustration.
