Good morning everyone;
My daughter's 84 Reliant (2.2L, Carb.) has had a trans leak since we purchased it. I have noticed that it seems to leak more when on a slight incline...as in - on the DRIVEWAY!
It seems better when on a flat surface...as in OUT in The STREET ! Figures that it would leak more, in the area that I care about!
Anyway, I got under the car the other day (it was up on ramps - the slope of the ramps made it very easy to find the leak), I noticed that the axle seals into the trans-axle must be shot. Trans fluid was pretty much pouring out on both the passenger and driver's side.
I guess the main question here is this: Has anyone had the pleasure of replacing these seals and if so, how complicated and time consuming is this job. If at all possible, I'd prefer to do this myself, then to pay a shop.
Thanks to anyone with input here!
Jim
