OK. Bret's post got me thinking that maybe what I need to know is right where I was all along. You guys know everything else so maybe you can help with this one.
I've got a 99 Astro with the little 6cyl RWD. The rear of the transmission is leaking ATF. It used to be only when it was parked on the slope of the driveway but now it's been parked on the flat spot for a couple of months (another story - too many cars) and it has started leaking again. It appears to be coming from right at the rear of the tranny.
Is there a seal in there that is easily replaced? Could it be the back of the pan gasket? Any suggestions?
First off I guess I should go buy a manual for it.
I've poked around on the web for this and have yet to find a place that has an answer. I've gotten used to this amazing group of British Car support and the help of friends in the local club and I guess I'm just spoiled.
I figured that a quick google of the Astro problem would pop up something similar..... Not even close.... Pages and pages of knuckleheads who love to hear themselves talk about what a piece of crap the Astro is and just go on and on about all their problems but I've yet to find a place where people actually address these complaints. The ubiquitous cult of victimhood... ugh...
This is why I have been in love with british cars my entire life... We know them, we love them, we understand them, we fix them ourselves, and we help other people with problems.
Count your blessings....
