Subject:Leaking auto tranny
From:Merv
Date:Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:40:45 -0400

I have an 85 auto tranny hooked to a Subie EJ 22 that is leaking very badly
on hard climbs. Does not do it otherwise. At firt I thought is was the main
seal on the engine or the oil seperator plate. Changed those and should have
gone into the tranny but did not. On a hard climb(over passes in Vermont)
where it really cranks hard, at the top it is leaking pretty bad.
 I have never messed with going into the seals of an auto tranny. Can anyone
tell me how difficult it is to remove the torque converter and get at and
change the converter oil seal. Any other ideas as to what may be leaking in
there. It is definitly tranny fluid coming out where bell housing meets the
tranny. Any thoughts or experiences are surely appreciated before I do it
the slow learn as you go way. Merv.
