Hi all
I have a slight leak of transmission fluid at the front seal or torque converter.
Is it worth pulling the trans to change the seal or should I change seal and converter. Worst case new trans and converter.
The trans has about 130k on it.
Thanks for your help.
Jay

what you did was overheat the fluid, it then leaks out the front seal, normally it will re-seal itself and be fine. Did you happen to bak a heavy load up a hill or do some 4x4 crawling in 1st ?, get yourself a big cooler , like a 4590 by tru-cool and change the fluid, it should be fine after that, until the TC needs to be changed out.

Nit,
Tanks for the reply, The fluid is good. I did warm it up a bit in 4 low this winter busting snow banks, but it was a slow drip prior to that as well. Its been leaking for about a year now. The leak is just enough to make a mess on the driveway.
