Camry :: Fluid Leak From Gasket Right In The Middle Of Entire Transmission
It appears that I have a small tran. fluid leak. Local Toyota dealer quoted me a reasonably low amount (300 or so) to fix.
My mechanic however, disagrees and says that this is a major work as the leak appears to come from the read gasket right in the middle of the entire tranny. He said the tans. need to come out and apart.
The leak is minor. It was first spotted at least a month ago and I never had to add fluid. Currently its right on the hot mark when measured after driving.
I would like to believe that my mechanic is somehow wrong. I never had to deal with a transmission leak that requires such a major effort to fix (I am talking pos old GM, Honda, etc). It just sounds odd (but then I never had a leaky rack and pinion either except in this Camry).
It would be very frustrating having to drop another grand into this car. The mileage is less than 90.000 miles. Its an automatic 2005 4 cyl.
Camry :: New Transmission Filter Don't Hold Much Fluid
I have a 2005, I4. At 60K miles did a transmission pan drop and filter change. Now at 75K doing a drain and refill, I realized that instead of the 3.7qt's I need around 5qt of fluid to get it to the normal level. Also drained 5 qt's.
So I am assuming the new transmission filter/strainer is not holding as much fluid as the original strainer.
Elantra GD (2013+) :: Leakage From Oil Filter Gasket
Every oil change i do (well 3 so far) my oil filter is a little oily, I can clearly see the marks coming from the filter gasket. First thing i did was to tighten the filter, but now im pretty sure its over torqued and it still leaks a bit....its nothing to serious, it barely reaches the bottom of the filter, it just grinds my gears. I am doing my own oil changes, car has around 15000km and I am using royal purple 5w-20 with oem filter.

As mentioned in one of my posts I recently had small oil leaks on my garage floor. I first thought that it came from the front dif, well, after having an oil change at the dealer it appeared that the tranny oil pan gasket is leaking, I was under the car with the tech and I saw it. It is a small leak the dealer wants to change the gasket and tranny fluids. Being under the car it seems to me that to remove the pan and replace the gasket is an easy job..I will look into the Benley tonight.

View 9 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Transmission Fluid Leaking Looked Like Coming From Gasket
So when I had my timing belt done my mechanic showed me that I had some transmission oil leaking It didn't look like much but looked like it was coming from gasket my v6 Passat has 200k on it and I heard that transmission fluid shouldn't be changed on any car with high mileage the transmission doesn't really act up sometimes when its cold it takes a little bit of time to shift to first but when its warmed up its just fine, what are my options, a full drain and filter change, which I am skeptical about. Adding some new fluid, I just gotta know if I gotta replace the drain plug. and then just a fluid change drain and add.

After having changed the oil in my 04 Forester multiple times, I must have lost my mind and drained the transmission fluid. I realized this when I started it back up and it wouldn't move. Clearly I put an oil filter on with engine oil around the seal. Should I do a tranny flush or can I just replace filter (with correct one) and fill with tranny fluid?

My 2005 Accent will be due for a transmission oil change soon. (105,000.00mi). I have never done a transmission oil change before and I was wondering if it is necessary to change the filter as well. The maintenance manual says change the oil it does not mention the filter. I'm not crazy about removing the oil pan unless it is recommended.
View 5 RepliesFord F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Transmission Leak Coming From Back Side Of Pan Gasket
I replaced the filter and gasket on my transmission about a month ago, it had a slight leak when I changed it, that appeared to be coming from the back side of the pan. So changed it and everything seemed good, today I noticed a small puddle of fluid under the truck after setting only a few minute's. Got home crawled under it and sure enough it was coming from the pan gasket again, now last time when I replaced it. I put a small amount of Permatex on the gasket back there, but it is still leaking there.
I checked when i had it apart the other day for a crack or anything noticeable but figured it was just the gasket was bad ( was a cork type gasket). Its hard to get the pan in there between the cross member and the transmission so I am not sure if i scrapped the permatex off or not, I am gonna take it all back apart and check it again and put a new gasket in and put the permatex under the gasket and on the transmission then hope for the best... 97 4.6 4x4
Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Overheating - Leaking Transmission Pan Gasket
I purchased the truck over a year ago and never had a problem with the transmission. The only issue was a leaking transmission pan gasket so I changed it put the same fluid that came out back in it since it looked brand new and didnt smell burnt or anything. So fast forward time and my girlfriend was driving the truck over the winter and lost control of the truck and spun it around and hit the front end of the truck into a rock wall.I have a weston bar on the front end that took the majority of the hit.
Shortly after the transmission would start to run warmer than normal. It would be 20 degrees outside and my transmission temp sensor would be reading around 140. Now that the weather is getting warmer the transmission is heating up a lot more. I took it to a guy to have him look at it and thought maybe the cooler was clogged or something like that and possibly put a larger cooler on it. He called me up a few days later and said their was a larger cooler already on it but it was not hooked up. It is a black one mounted on the front of the radiator. He said he cut the lines off of the old one and there was a slight bend in the one line so he cut a little higher than that line and then hooked up the cooler.
He told me he blew in the lines and there was no restrictions in it, i guess no pressure when we blue on the lines. I drove it home and the temp went higher than ever before up to 220. The cooler on the front was ice cold and trans pan was hot.I am starting to think maybe the bypass is bad and the fluid isn't getting to the cooler. The fluid is still pink and does not smell burnt so I want to fix the problem before any issues arise. The truck has 137000 miles on it. I have attached pictures of the cooler that he said was already there but not hooked up.

Camry :: 2002 - Oil Pan Gasket Leaking At 140 K Miles?
2002 Camry 4 Cylinder. 140 K miles
I am pretty sure the oil leak I spotted is from the oil pan gasket. (Interestingly I searched and didn't find many posts about this, that makes me wonder if this is not a typical issue.)
Is there anything that blocks removal? Does it just drop out after undoing the bolts?
Also can I get the felpro gasket? Do I need any sealant?
Subaru :: Replacing Filter And Filling Transmission Fluid?
I just drained and filled my transmission fluid and replaced the filter. My first time doing it myself. I measured the amount of fluid that came out and it came to just under 6 quarts. I started refilling it and so far I've put a little over 5 quarts in. I figured I'd check the dipstick as i got close to the amount and add more little by little until it's at the full line. The dipstick is showing fluid well above the full line (about 2 inches above). Is that normal when it's just been filled? Should I run it for a few minutes and check it again?
