Title: ATF leak
Post by: Ironingboard on 23 December 2008, 13:45:31

Looking for some help regarding my Autobox. I recently looked underneath my car to find splatters of ATF fluid around the area where the front of the prop shaft connects with the autobox.

Looking at it, there seems to be a small leak from the seal around the drive thing that comes out the back of the autobox and connects to the rubber donut thing that connects to the prop.

My question is can this seal be replaced easily or does it have a preloaded tension on the nut similar to the one on the rear differential?

I'm planning to change my ATF soon so if the autobox needs to be drained to change it then its not a problem.

Looking for some advice.

Thanks

ive just had a look at my old AR25 box & it looks like a normal push in oil seal, the prop flange has a collar that obviously goes through the seal, i would say that when re-fitting just do up the nut as far as it will go [dont know the toque setting], but it looks dead easy to do :y

as i see it the worst job will be getting the nut undone, once the flange is off just pick the old seal out with a screwdriver then gently & evenly tap the new one in,,,,BINGO!!!! ;D
