Trans leak at rear of tranny?

[kemo sabe]

I have a leak at the rear of my Trans. It's near where the driveshaft and the trans meet up. Anyone have any input or this problem before?

I'm not real versed on transmissions, but I would guess you need to replace your output shaft seal.

Output shaft seal. While under the trans, you might want to check the bolts on your transmission pan, just to make sure they're all snug and you aren't leaking from there as well.

I was looking at replacing that seal a while back, and it didn't look too bad.

output seal sounds like the problem. Easy to replace too. Did my tcase one awhile back.

Would I have to pull the trans? Or can just take the drive shaft out and change the seal? I too am not well versed with transmissions.

it's really just as easy as pulling the driveshaft popping out the old seal and putting the new one in. the seals are pressed in so I usually just work the old one out carefully with a screwdriver, then use like a rubber malet to carefully put the new one in.... it's just like putting a dust cap on a front spindle or anything like that

Make sure you chock the front wheels, put the truck in neutral and put the rearend on jack stands so the rear wheels will spin. Also you will drop out a little transmission fluid, so have a pan ready to catch it. These steps will help out the job.

Thanks guys. Do you know if the parts stores usually carry the seal or would I need to order it from somewhere?

Yeah they should have it. Weather or not they give you the correct part or even know what your talking about, now that's another story!
