Re: 95 jeep grand cherokee transmission leak
Just to get by could i put some exhaust heat wrap where it leaks so it wont
catch fire.Im taking it to cottman transmission on weds to find out the
problem they said they would check it for free.They said it would be 329
dollars to fix the seal,i pray the seal is just worn out.
thanks everyone for your help

This strikes me as a bad idea. If you are talking about that fiberglass
stuff it is likely to absorb fluid and then you will just have a bigger
fire. If it is leaking that bad you would want to have the vehicle towed to
the repair facility. A fire isn't super likely but if you do get one you
won't be happy.

Watch Cottman. The one we have here was well known for ripping folks off.
You might be better served by looking up a good local (non chain store)
transmission shop.
FWIW, a new tranny from the dealership can be had for about 2K
The seal runs about 12-15$ but installation is the big cost there.
You might want to call a dealership and ask how much they charge.
I'd definitly shop around a bit.
Dunno how much you know about transmissions but this page is a good
read. http://www.familycar.com/Transmission.htm
