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!!) ------------- nzskier |

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 ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |
