Transmission Leak... any thoughts?
I did a search in the archives and couldn’t find an answer to this problem.
Transmission fluid is leaking from the speedometer cable attachment just behind the transmission support. How do I stop this from leaking? If it was only a couple of drops I would leave it but it’s more like a 6” puddle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Post a picture, more descriptions, what year, etc.. What you have now is non-descript.
Mine leaked from behind the attachment for the speedo pick up. What it turned out to be was the case had a 1/2 inch hole in it. The speedo plate had a magnet that backed out of its place and wore a hole into the case. Hope it is not your situation here, because it cost a whole transmission rebuild, and they did it 3 times in 18 months. Finally, I had it with them and swap tranny with a Vertex rebuilt unit. Great shop, great guys, stand behind their products. |

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. I hope it's not the same problem.
I'll take some pictures tonight and post them. The car is an 85 930. The leak is coming from the same place you described. |

Look closely, remove the magnetic speedo pickup (should be in there with just a 10mm nut and a spring), if you see a hole then the case is ... toast. They tried to weld my case but it was not possible and in the end they just swapped case instead. Then I ended up bringing it back 3 times until I finally solved it by swapping the whole tranny.
Hope that is not yours. |
