ihscout54 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So you have an automatic and atf is leaking into the the final drive portion of the transaxle? Is it cracked? Worn shaft? We need details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 There are 2 shafts that have seals between the transmission and the differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOONGA Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 This is a problem that all of the older "EAT" transmissions will suffer from at some point..there are 2 sets of seals and a tube made of some sort of plastic, that seperate the auto trans fluid and the gearbox oil in the transfer case. If you can fund/find a kit and the rebuilding of the transmission, go for it. if not look at swapping in a manual box (if thats an option). I had a similar problem on a 91 liberty 4eat box. after lengthy discussions which included selling the car as was, converting to a manual trans or just leaving it. the box was pulled and a seal kit was put through the front half of the box. It wasn't a fun day but we did get the problem sorted out. Good luck with it. TOONGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
