Selector Shaft Seal: Transmission Leak

[johnnyapollo]

I currently have a very small leak - wondering if it's the same problem. Produces just enough ATF to "wet" the underside of the pan but no drips - really irritating....

thought I was goin' faint when it turned out to be so cheap.

Well, the part is literally like a $3 part. And quite honestly, the labor is nothing. Had I done this before, and had I not been messing around looking for other leaks, I could have had it apart, changed and back together in about 20 minutes. So it is pretty easy, for those who have this leak and want to fix it themselves.

Well, being that I don't drive the VX daily anymore, I have time to let her sit so I can really see where the leaks are. I'm hoping that I don't have a pan leak as well, but I won't know until I let it sit for a big longer. With the seal leaking, the bottom of the pan is completely wet, and if you stick your fingers on top of the cross member, you will likely have a pool of ATF there. But if you are driving your VX every day, you will have lots of ATF blowing everywhere. I didn't notice this leak until I saw a drip forming on the bottom of the dust sheild that covers the mode switch.
