My intermediate plate on my 901 tranny is seeping tranny fluid. How does one go about stopping the leak? Are there a couple of gaskets to use or some sort of liquid gasket. Also, when I take off the rear tranny cover to fix this thing are there any suprises that come springing out that I should be aware of? I'm thinking I can slid the intermediate plate off and apply the sealant and slide and re-assemble the whole thing again without too many issues. Also, are there specific torque values when re-assembling? Thanks. |

On what side of the intermediate plate is it leaking? On the end cover side (toward the back) or the gear stack side (toward the motor).
If it is just the end cap side, fairly easy to do. Just pull the end cap off (I forget how many 13mm nuts) and lay on a new paper gasket. I have never used any type of sealent, but others may dissagree. You will need to clean both surfaces thoroughly to get a flat and smooth mating surface. Check out Bondo's thread in the classics for photo's If it is the gear stack side.....a little more complicated. JR |
