AX15 leak


Recommended Posts

I recently swapped from the Peugeot trans to the AX15 in my 88 comanche. I also converted it to external slave (trans came from a 94 XJ so it was already external) everything went smoothly, trans didn’t leak a drop of fluid the entire way home in the back of my bed. Now that it’s installed it’s leaking like crazy from the bellhousing (as if the input shaft was leaking?!?) i used the correct pilot bearing, AX15 clutch kit ect... i know it’s trans fluid because it’s thicker and smells like gear lube but to be safe i replaced the rear main, oil pan and valve cover gasket... still leaks

Could be the front bearing cover not sealed properly.  When you were driving home with it, was it full of fluid?  Now that it is full, the leak is obvious.

 

That would mean dropping the trans and resealing the cover.
