Transmission fluid change

catchx34 · 03-17-2007, 09:07 PM

For those of you who changed your MTF, did you notice that you had a slight leak where the engine and transmission connect? I changed my mtf today with amsoil and noticed the small leak and was wondering if anyone else noticed it.

Out of the blue question, what does one need for a MTF change?? Replace drain plug??

you sure you didnt just have a little over-drip left over that puddled somewhere on the frame and just kinda creeped its way down after a while?....try whipping everything down and give it a little bit then check back before heading to the dealer. That happend to me when i changed my oil, freaking oil filter left puddles everyone!!! took me close to a week to finally stop dripping

I didn't have any leaks. Like others have had, my transmission was overfilled from the factory so a lot of fluid poured out once I removed the fill bolt, but there was no leakage.

I saw potential leaks around the gasket where the tranny and engine are mounted and around that small black cover under the transmission. Hopefully it was just some old oil that splashed.
