My Poor Max Tranny
#1
I was wondering if any of you with 4th Gen Max's with Manual trannies had experienced leaks at the output seals? My poor 99 is going back in to the dealer on Monday for the 8th visit and attempt at solving the problem.
A local friend and fellow CANMAX member had this problem on his 95 max, and it turned out to be a failed bearing due to improper pre-load. Although he has had to make the repair twice now (about 50,000 miles apart).
Just wanted to know if anyone else was in the same boat as me??

Turns out this is a common problem. I have a found a few other people with the same problem, and one friend is on his third set of bearings. He has decided to do the work himself.
Watch your car for leaks very very carefully, it might just happen again!
BTW, My car just came back from the dealer for the ninth visit for the same problem.
