I recently went under the van and I noticed what it appears to be an obvious indicator of fluid leak between .The leak seems to be where the transmissions connect to the rear axle. Before I remove the axle for inspection I was wondering if there a seal I should replace at the end of the tranny or anything like that. I have a 6 cyl /4 speed manual trany. I will also need to know where would it be the refill access point location on the tranny. I have replaced axels on small cars ,but not yet on a bigger vehicule. Any advice will be greatly appreciated and even more if you can add pics or a links

Sounds like either a transmission tailshaft seal or a pinion seal depending on what end of the drivershaft you're talking about grin


There should be a plug on either the driver or passenger side of the transmssion. Acessible from underneath. Two plugs actually...one is a drain and the other is a fill.

Thank...well the location of the leak is closer to where the shaft meets the tail end of the trany...Where the trany connects to the shaft,not all the way back towards

Okay..that's the rear seal on the transmission. You'll need to pull the driveshaft out to get that seal out. Fluid will spill out when you remove the driveshaft, but don't worry about it.

If you are careful, you can pry the old seal out with a screwdriver and then tap the new one in with a hammer and large socket.
