starkizer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Finally after a month I figured out why I was smelling tranny fluid in the cab, but I don't know how to fix it. If you pull the center console and take off the shifter boot and all that stuff then take off that little dust cover. I found tranny fluid pooled up there. Cleaned it up thinking I spilt some ( had work done) week later and I'm smelling it again..... I guess there is a seal or something there that needs replaced, can I get to it up top or do I get to drop the tranny again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 if its what I'm thinking of remove the 4 bolts around the shift lever and take it out and either put a new gasket in or use rtv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 You can remove/replace the inner boot. Shouldn't be pooling. Is it over filled? How did you fill it? From the top, or the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 yeah I'm kinda confused too. even if it was that gasket there is nowhere for fluid to pool. would just run down the side. :huh???: :???: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkizer Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 After removing all the boots and dust covers and all that. Right where the shifter meets the transmission. There is like a little bowl looking thing and it gets just a little tiny bit of fluid pooled up right there in that bowl and after driving it gets hot and starts smelling. I will try and get a picture of the exact spot I'm talking about so I can show everyone. I don't think that the transmission is over filled, but will check again. I drained and filled like your supposed to. (I hope) took out bottom plug let it drain, put it back in and pumped it into the top plug. Used a bottle of Lucas and the rest is the right fluid.

starkizer Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Should specify its a standard. Not automatic. 5 speed. I pulled everything out today and cleaned it really well. I also pulled the cover thing off my parts truck which is completely different and not there at all on my working truck. Well it is now. A technician buddy of mine described it as blow back. I have pics I will post as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
