I've documented my adventures in fixing a small leak in my transmission on my syncro. It started with a simple oil change and ended with an indictment of my lack of observation skills. I've posted it in the hope that it might serve to warn others :) starts with transmission oil change: http://shufti.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/vanagon-syncro-transmission-oil-change-with-complications/ and ends with the leaked stopped: http://shufti.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/vanagon-syncro-transmission-oil-change-with-complications-solved/ Big thanks to Daryl for his advice, and a shout out to the makers of "The Right Stuff" sealant. alistair |
