I posted about this many months ago. TR4A Overdrive transmission gear oil leak--appears to be from the side plate where the solenoid sits. But it's very hard to be certain.
Geo was kind enough to offer his lift, but I've been so busy I haven't made it over there, not to mention I'm reluctant to drive the car with such a bad leak.
The car has been sitting since about last Christmas.
Well, today I started the process of getting the car ready to tear apart again so I can access the transmission. I first checked the catch pan I put under the car to catch the leaking gear oil. I'm serious--there's over a quart in the pan. I've literally lost half or more of the total fluid, and the car has been sitting idle. I've just never heard of such a thing. I asked once before, but to leak like that something pretty darn bad must be going on.
I'm not sure I'll know until I get the side plate off, but even then I just can't imagine that kind of a leak. Does anyone have an advance clue I can look out for?
thx
