requesting advice from an expert- or at least someone who has done this repair before....
ive posted before about this. I told about how it started leaking trans fluid, finally got underneath it to try and find the leak- couldn't find an exact source, just that fluid was all over the back side of the engine, mainly on the side the oil filter is on- as well as all over everything on the lower part of the engine..... I was told this was because the front pump seal on the transmission that has gone bad.
I was just poking around on autozone's website looking at front seals... there are so many different ones- and they even look different. which one is the right one? which ever one it is, the part is not expensive and I think it can find it's way into my broke ass budget, assuming this is the source of the leak.
I am thinking of taking a crack at it myself- how difficult is it to repair? could someone possibly give me detailed, yet dumbed down instructions how to do it? hopefully with photos or maybe videos? how much dismantling is required? any special tools?
