Subject:      Automatic Trany Leak

Hello Fellow Vanagonees,
My 84 Westy automatic transmission is leaking very
badly and it is time for a repair job. TPO seems to
have tried to seal the joint between the final drive
and the automatic transmission from the outside with
silicone rubber. I am loosing ATF at quite a high rate
and leaving a mess in everyone's drive way.
    I have checked to be sure nothing is leaking
either direction from the differential and that seems
OK.
    Is this just the sealing ring between the final
drive and the transmission or should I be expecting
other surprises when I take them out?
    The transmission is working fine - as long as I
keep the ATF fluid topped up.


Any comments/suggestions will be appreciated,
Tom
84 Westy and 85 Vanagon
