You can see the slightly red color on the fitting on the pictures in a previous post. But I think it is just really a little bit.
I guess the main leaks are the pan gasket and the shift shaft sealing...
I am pretty sure the shift shaft sealing sits in the correct direction. I try to upload a...
Yes! That was my thought the last time as well. But after the last works I leveled it out very detailed. It was pretty perfect, slightely above the medium-level on the stick-area.
I guess it is the same spot... But now is the first time to see it better. Before the dipstick was leaking as well and there was no possibility to check properly.
Are the Felpro gasekts those with an additional sealing on top? I think I saw a video about them.
The TCI aluminum pan came with a black gasket. It's neither rubber nor cork. I think it is something in between. I have a rubber sealing as well, but the mechanic who changed the pan preferred the one that was coming with the TCI pan. I think it is a kind of nitrile rubber, but i can not tell...
Just to make it clear to me what you mean:
inner ring = kick down sealing
outer ring = shift shaft seal
Correct?
(The workshop said it changed the shift shaft sealing, and the sealing was gone out of my transmission kit...)
I am using Fanfaro ATF which has the approval for "CHRYSLER ATF+3, ATF+4" .
That is the same ATF I am using in our 76' Blazer, and in the TH350 are no problems with that at all. So I am pretty sure it is okay. In the description they text it has a high viscosity.
Hi guys,
I'm back with the next steps....
Now I was able to get under the car again because I was allowed to use the workshop's lifting platform.
As you advised, I replaced the dipstick seal.
I also wrapped the fitting of the ATF line with Teflon again. And I replaced the kickdown seal in...
Hi guys,
thank you very much for your answers! Today I was under the car and tried to find the leak... unfortunately I really can't get my head under the car...
So I tried filming the transmission. I am sure that it is leaking from the left AND right side. I guess you're right with the dip...
For explanation:
- Much oil = after changing the pan to aluminum + renew the shift shaft sealing (sitting for ca. 4-5 days)
- Good photos from beneath = after sealing the ATF line, after cleaning everything
- just a bit ATF = today after sitting for ca. 12-14 hours
Sorry, my mobile is not doing what it should. Just sharing the same post again, instead of my pictures... I guess something is hating me at the moment.
Hi guys,
Thank you again for your help.
Sadly I need to come back again to it...
Wenn the car is driven and remains still for more than 20-24 hours it will start to leak again. Yesterday we sealed the ATF-lining on the left to the shift shaft because it looked very suspicious.
Unfortunately I...
Hi Guys! Long time no see..
First: Thank you for your help and all ideas!
FINALLY I came along to get my car fixed...
In May the Aspen went through german TÜV, without anything beeing done about the leak. The TÜV only noted "minor"-issues with a slightely oily engine and transmission (in...
