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?

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.

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

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 *** out the door after I
took a couple photos.
