Is this a common prob? cause i cant get my car 2 stop peeing tranny fluid after it sits a night or 2............ this means no races this thursday if i cant fix her!!!

 

Never Had that problem with my 85 camaro or my 88 Firebird.
There is an O-ring on the inside the transmission.
You need to check to see if it's there or if it's good.
You probably need to take the pan off to check.
I'm sure the the O-ring is bad.

Good luck,

Chris.

 

my car doesnt 'pee' fluid but I have trouble with the dipstick staying down inside the trans. about once a month I'll crawl under the car and shove the damn thing back down, it helps if u have someone under the hood pushing/wiggling on the fill tube as well.

 

Your dipstick tube should be bolted to your transmission bell housing.

yeah hes right.. i also had the brakets and it was bolted to the tranny.. i think i have the old one still.. i changed my tranny to manual.. so if u need the clip... let me know

The "o-ring" isn't inside the pan. It's actually a grommet that goes in from the top just to the right side of the bellhousing. You'll have to remove the top right bellhousing bolt and pull dipstick up about 3-4" to get the grommet out and change it. I've seen quite a few of them leaking, but mostly on older trannys.

If you don't bolt the dipstick tube bracket to the bellhousing like you're supposed to, it will work it's way out like JSkeet's.

 

ahhhhh no f***in wonder.... jeezz... son of a bitch....

 

tks.... i will replace and maybe it will work
