Can anyone fill me in on what to do next

 

Just got my heater matrix fitted

 

Unfortunately while doing it the mechanic saw Auto gear box fluid leaking between the bell housing and the torque convertor. I had this problem last year(leak that is not sure where it was though) and ended up blowng the box

 

 

Auto specialist in Dublin (200 miles from me) repaired it under guarantee as it blew 2 years ago also.

 

Unfortuately he has now washed his hands of it and refuses to take in on again however he said I dont need an auto specialist this time as the seal is between the torque convertor and the bell housing section of the box. And as long as I keep the oil topped up the box should be OK

 

All i need to do is change the seal (even though I'm not exactly sure where it is)

 

 

Does this sound reasonable, do you know what seal he is talking about

 

Any help appreciated

 

 

Regards

Yeah it's the input or torque converter seal. We do loads on automatic Landrovers.

A bit unclear as to what your saying as the converter sits INSIDE the bellhousing. But reading between the lines I THINK you mean the seal where the converter fits into the front pump is leaking. If this is the case you need to remove the box & converter, slide the converter out and simply replace the seal. It will be a normal oil seal. Box out its a five min job.

Thanks for the help guys. sorry for being a bit vague

 

I meant the oil can be seen dripping from the front edge of the box at the bell housing so i Presumed it was coming from where torque convertor and box meet.

 

Is there any seal inside the box itself or is the main oil seal on the outside between convertor and box ( this would be a relief, do not want to strip box again)

 

Thanks

IF its the oil seal in the pump it is easy to do and the box doesnt need stripping.
