Transmission crush washers
 

I drained the fluid out of the pan and converter...However, I did not replace the crush washers with new ones.

I have drips from both outlets. Should I try to tighten a bit more, or should I get new crush washers? New crush washers would force a re-drain.. No big deal.

I am afraid to overtighten those screws.

Get new crush washers and torque to spec.

It wouldn't mean a re-drain, just remove the plug and quick put your finger over the opening, slip on a new washer (or have an assistant do it, and shove it back in/tighten it down, fluid loss would be minimal.

ok, i will try this...

do you think i can get these 10mm crush washers at a hardware store....dealer is about 25 miles away.

i am just aggravated that i didn't get the crush washers in advance

Lee, consider having the MB dealer mail you new crush washers.

And when you buy them, buy a bunch.

got the washers today.... a buck a piece...go figure.

i got a loaner torgque wrench from the auto parts store today....

i just have to get the torque specs.


EDIT: torque specs are 14nm 10ft/lbs.
