Help - Tranny Leak after changing seal/bushing/gasket on ext housing 200

posted by  someone claiming to be zakir on  Mon Apr 1 07:56 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I could not conclude where the leak is coming from. If it is coming from the rear seal, then the output shaft should be wet ? It did not appear so. There was fluid all around the extension housing. I think it is the gasket.

I called the parts guy at Borton volvo , he told me that with the new bushing, the flange will be tight and will loosen up with time. Old bushings cause it to be real loose.

I will get the parts tomorrow and I am re-doing the bushing, seal and gasket again. Should I put some form of gasket sealant ? If so what brand do I get, I have never used any gasket sealant before. I persume it does not matter how I put the gasket ( meaning does it go on a paarticular side or can be flipped either ways)

Also when placing the gasket, it kept slipping off, so while holding it , I put on the ext housing. Then I put in all the 4 lower bolts, then did the 2 top bolts. Maybe I should put all the bolts in at once.

And by the way, since I had drained the tranny fluid, I poured back in 5 quarts. The dip stick should a little too much fluid, but the dip stick tube is dry so there was no over flow there. Just though I would mention this.

As for the nut in the center of the flange, will tightening it push the companion flange all the way in? Since it was a bit tight, I hammered it in lightly with a piece of wood. So maybe I just need to tighten the nut the next time round.

Comments?

thanks
