I have a 1992 Camaro RS w/ a 3.1 liter V-6 & 700R4 trans. Last week I was driving and I noticed that I was losing tranny fluid all over the bottom of my car. It appeared to me that I blew out the pan gasket. I pulled the flywheel and tourqe converter cover and it was as dry as a bone. The lines are in good shape. Last night it did it again. It almost seems as if when the tranny get hot it is blowing all of the fluid? I really do not know where to start. I read the troubleshooting manual and it suggests that it is either the filler tube o-ring or the o-ring on the speedo. PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

You have to figure out where it is coming from. If it is too full, it may be venting fluid out of the top of the case (there is a vent there) when it gets up to temp. Or, it could be a leaking o-ring, front pump, etc. There are lots of places for the 700R4 to leak (I think mine tried them all). Get the car in the air and clean the transmission with engine gunk degreaser and spray it off. That may make locating the leak easier.

Good luck!

 

Dipstick gromet loose or something there maybe?

 

I would replace the pan gasket, the Dipstick O-ring and the speedo o-rings. Have you tried to tighten the pan bolts? My 84 leaked like crazy and tightening the bolts did the trick.

 

Could you get the car up and have someone run it while you look under and see where it is starting from?
