[AT] Trans. fluid

[Bruce Moden]

One item I did not see mentioned in this latest thread on trans. fluid change/flush is the fact that when you change fluid in the trans. after about 75,000 miles you may find the trans. pan will leak.  As it was explained to me, the gunk in the bottom of the pan seals the pin holes & onjce disturbed the pan will leak.  I have found this true in Chrysler/Dodge mini-vans, but the tech told me it is true of many vehicles.  So probably if you haven't changed things recently best to drop the pan & replace it-  would have saved me some time & mess!
