Transmission Leak
I've got an 87 automatic with a transmission leak. I think the leak may be at the joint between the fill tube and the case. When I was replacing plugs/wires, and new valve cover gaskets the fill tube may have gotten jostled around a bit. There appears to be a rubber gasket at the base of the fill tube. Does anyone know if this can be repaired without taking the whole darn car apart?? :confused:

Re: Transmission Leak (87Vert)
The fill tube is secured to the transmission by one of the bolts that holds the transmission t the engine. Remove that bolt and the fill tube can be pulled out from the top, and the rubber seal can be replaced.

Re: Transmission Leak (87Vert)
Thanks for the part number and the warning!! I'm finding that repairing many things aren't as easy as they appear they might be.
