transmission leak

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello to all in CorrectCraft world from New Zealand. I have a 2000 Ski Nautique that has developed a transmission fluid leak that I need advice on repairing. It appears to be coming from the gasket that seals the rear of the trans, and my question is can I replace the gasket with the tranny in place or is this a task that needs the trans removed to repair? The first challenge i can see is trying to undo the flange that the driveshaft bolts to. With the drive shaft uncoupled and slid back there's not a huge amount of room to work within. Any ideas / experience is welcomed.The amount of fluid in the picture is from 3 weeks sitting in the shed without use. Cheers Royce (I have ordered a tranmission manual from the U.S.A but I am getting impatient waiting for it to arrive) our summer is looming!!)

	it will be real hard to do in the boat because of the flange nut, most of the time its torqued to 225 ft lbs and you need a impact and there is no room to get the impact in, your beeter off pulling and replacing the front seal while your at because sure as sh*t you'll replace the rear and the front will start leaking
