The transmission has the following parts to prevent external fluid leakage:
- Gaskets
- Lip-type seals
- O-ring seals
- Seal rings
- Seal grommets
- Seal washers
- Thread sealant
Leakage at the transmission pan-to-case gasket often can be stopped by tightening the retaining bolts to specification. Refer to Torque Specifications.
When fluid is found to be leaking between the case and the cooler tube fitting, tighten the fitting to maximum specification.
If leakage is found at the manual control lever shaft, install a new seal.
Check for fluid leaking from the end of the extension housing. Leakage can result from a damaged seal, missing garter spring or worn extension bushing. Install a new seal assembly, bushing or both, as necessary.
