Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Transaxle Tranny leak

Yes it is so. I think it's leaking around the round thing which I think is the solenoid and its held on on a locking ring. I dont think its the main seal or where the 2 halves of the tranny separate. Does anybody have the same problem?? If its not that and it happens to be the main seal, i'llpay alittle more to have it rebuilt. It's gertting a little worse. I might have 2 drips spots a week but I see more wet spots underneath it so thats why I said I think its getting worse.

I don't think you are at rebuilt stage yet, but definately have a shop put it on a lift and check it out. Watch out for transmission specialty shops though, they are fishy mostly. One around here tells me our cars need a new axle every time they come in. I came back 20 days after a rebulld one time for a check-up, and he told me that, right after they had replaced it during the rebuild.

the reason I said I want to get a rebuild is becuase if the main/casing seal costs 800-900 to fix, I might as well spend another 500-600 for a rebuile so I wont have to worry about it. If I got the leak fix and if the tranny goes, then I have toi sink in anohter $1500. Screw that. I have 88k on my car and the tranny has been rebuilt at 26k so hopefully I can get 150k out of it. I just recently got it flushed so i'll do the drain refill method at another 10k just to be an the safeside. If it is the servo, how hard is it to replace?
