recently had the fluid's changed in my Transmission and transfer case. saw a spot of fluid on the garage floor and looked under it. it was wet near the rear of the pan. Possibility that they didn't tighten it back up good enough? thoughts? |

Possibility that they didn't tighten it back up good enough? thoughts? Did they use a gasket or RTV? If a gasket it may be split through the bolt hole from overtightening. If RTV then they may not have put enough on. Degrease the area and see if the leak returns B4 trying anything... |

If they used a gasket, that's the problem... RTV only... no gasket. If they used a gasket, they also probably filled the trans with the wrong fluid too. |

I use a gasket (its reusable) and love it. No more scraping RTV and dealing with that mess. |

Cork gaskets are like Petty Coats and Hooped Skirts PUKE ![]() ![]() My pan is cast and RTV works great and does not leak. |
