Subject:      Auto Transmission service advice

Hi list,

My Auto Transmission seems to be working great.  Only problem is it is leaking out a lot of fluid.

        We recently changed the pan seal to try to fix the issue and the problem is the same.

        I
m still trying to track down exactly where the fluid is coming from.  It is too much to ignore.  a wet dinner plate every 5 or six days.

I’d love some advice on how to solve this problem.

I”m considering ordering the seals again from Ken and this time get all three.  then find a time with my VW talented friend and do them all. 

Only other option I can think of is to go to a transmission shop, but  my luck with local garages is not great.  I have a few new ones to try out but first I wanted to hear from this group.

Reminder, drips from driver’s side front bolt area.  But, I’m not positive it is from there or somewhere above.


thanks,
