From: Psychiatris on 7 Dec 2009 03:02 Hi all, Bought my grandpa's '85 Toy pickup as I needed a vehicle quickly. 309,000 miles on it and the tranny leaks. Couldn't find where it was leaking, but an EZ Lube tech said it was leaking bad via the output shaft and wouldn't do a transmission flush. The info I need is, I suppose, a part number? Is it a seal, or a gasket? I can't afford the labor so I need to do it myself. I appreciate any help. It's the SR5 1/2 ton pickup with EFI, 4 cylinder. Patrick

Bring your VIN number just in case there was production change. It's probably a seal if it's leaking from the shaft. Gaskets are mainly for matings and cover plates. Also check the transmission cooler lines at the front that connect to the radiator, those are notorious for leaking, and need to be replaced every so often. BTW does the Overdrive still work? Has the timing chain been replaced?

I went to Partstrain.com and figured it was the seal. Thanks for the pointer on checking the cooler lines. I'll take a look at it this weekend as I have the time. As for the timing chain, you mean the one on the engine, correct? Patrick

As long as the tensioner is still good and the guides don't fail, it should be ok. |
