Leaking tranny intermediate plate, how to seal it up? Options

[olav]

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.

I had the same problem, big oil leak from back end of tranny. I ended up taking it out of the car. I bought a tranny gasket & seal kit . I used a non hardening gasket dressing (loctite part# 2BR)along with the gasket between the inter. plate & housing. For the back cover I used Loctite form a gasket part# 26015. So far so good, I haven't seen a drop leak out. While I was at it, I also replaced every seal.
