TJ Transmission Leak
Hello Everyone:
About 3 weeks ago, I took my Jeep in and had the tranny replaced. Two weeks ago, I noticed some fluid around the pan bolts towards the rear and I took it back in so they could fix the leak. After I picked the Jeep up from the shop the 2nd time, I looked under it and still saw fluid around the bolts, at which point I pointed it out but he told me "it's not leaking." I called up today because the fluid is still there, and they asked me if it was dripping (which it isn't) so they told me its probably just the fluid leaking thru the bolts, which is normal. This sounds like complete BS to me! On my old transmission there was never any moisture of any sort under the pan. I could change the pan seal in 1 hour if I wanted to, but this is warranty work we're talking about here. He told me if it gets worse bring it in again and he'll look it over. Did he BS me? Mike |

Wipe it all dry with paper towel and cleaner. That way you can find exactly where the leak is. I'm betting they cranked on the bolts and warped the pan. Fluid leaks through bolts the same way a DC-10 leaks through a runway. -- DougW |

Re: TJ Transmission Leak
then, when the "Moisture" reappears, loosen the bolts, stab it with a
screwdriver, then take it in and demand a new gasket. the gasket should be going around the bolt, so if there is fluid, there is a leak 97tjMike wrote: >Hello Everyone: > >About 3 weeks ago, I took my Jeep in and had the tranny replaced.

Re: TJ Transmission Leak
Good advice!
Pull a fraud job to get a fix.... If I saw a gasket leak come back on a Job looking like that, I would tell you to see me in court and toss your sorry ass out the door after I took a couple photos.
