Trans. oil leak from a rubber thing.
 

Took pictures but could not post.Will try to I D.
It is about 1/2" in Dia. and about 1" long. It is a rubber bellows with a thin wire coming out of one end and the other end is screwed into the back of the trans. on the drivers side. It is above the muffler bracket.The oil is leaking from the rubber thing. Is this an easy fix,and where does that wire go? It looks like the wire goes into a bundle of other wires.

Hi It sounds like your kick down selonoid,there is a oring seal you can replace,but I would check the selonoid housing to see if its cracked first,Joeym

I wish i could post a picture! If someone has a picture of this selonide,please post it and i will I D it.

Hope this works.

It's that little bellows thing.

I forgot what it is. But I have taken it out before when I removed my tranny 2 years ago. Its probably a speed sensor, nuetral safety switch, reverse light switch but who cares just take it out and find out whats leaking o ring etc.

What concerns me most is the wire and will trany. fluid leak out.

Should i pull the rubber boot back and then pull the wire out of the plastic housing. Is that where the O-ring is?

Anyone.

Give me some time when I get my car up on the lift I will tell you how it goes and what it is.

Hi As I said its the kick down seloniod that works off the switch under the gas pedal.At the end of the wire there is a female plug that goes over a pin,on the back side of the pin is a seal,however I have seen the housings cracked and cause the leak.The selonoid is about $65 dollars and is held in with a big banjo bolt that also has a seal on it,you must wash it down and see were its leaking from,before you throw parts at it.Joeym

I will wash it down and if i can locate the leak.

Replaced all [3] O- rings on the bolt that goes thru the selonoid and No Leaks. Total Cost 11.25. Man i LOVE this site.Thanks
