BlueStag Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) For some reason I am not able to launch a topic over on the trans topic forum. And this is specific to L6's. So. I am running a Mxima OD autobox in my Triumph behind the L6. In the process of doing the swap I had to adapt the heck out of everything, including getting the dipstick tube fitted. The blasted thing is hard to push back down the tube.... It was shifting poorly, it had been leaking, and I checked the trans oil, seemed low. Added a quart, think I over filled it. And now it is just dumping oil. I'm hoping that it is just dumping the extra oil out the same leak I have had all along. And with luck it is the gasket for the pan. Who thinks it is one of the shaft seals? Ouch. Edited August 18, 2012 by BlueStag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Possibly because of the overfill its leaking out the rear, where the input from the driveshaft is coming from. Is it leaky when its just sitting or when it moves? It could be sloshing around. Not too familiar with these auto trannies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too familiar with these auto trannies I'll tell you: there is a hell of a slick in the garage, but of course the pump runs while the thing is in park but running. I'm hoping that it is just purging out of a vent on the top. It was shifting oddly for a few days, oil cavitation. Not good for the hardware. But the shifting seems OK now. Checked the level today, only slightly over the top of full. I'll clean up the mess for the second time, then see how the fluid goes. It is very difficult to measure, as the stick goes down the tube with no ease at all. The last curve just at the Trans is too tight, but the Triumph was not made for this car. I should look around for a spare unit at the right price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
