Tranny leak :( and i broke the shifter sensor....
i am changing my MTF and i noticed there is oil on the underside of the transmission. It's not dripping, but it's definately leaking somewhere, there is no other explanation for it.
it's right on the underside, not from any particular points..
what can i do?
i am clueless as to how to approach this problem..
i was also attempting to pop out the shifter sensor where the drain bolt is and i snapped off a piece
that thing is fragile! i cracked off the part that holds the bolt.

questions
anyone know how much the shifter sensor costs?
is it the only thing holding the fluid in place? if i pop it out.. will the fluid just come rushing down or is there something else behind it?

as for the oil leak, see if its coming from your drivers side axel where it enters the tranny...could be your bearings going insdie your trans

No if that sensor does come off all the fluid will come out pretty darn fast..I bought one of these a while back but I forget how much it was. It may have been around $75

Oh you already put the fluid in there...so when you pull the sensor get a clean container under there and catch it. then replace the sensor and pore all the new fluid back in

i haven't put it in yet. i took out the drain plug, dried to get the sensor out, broke off a piece and just left it there.. i'll order a new one before i put the fluid in
