Transmission leaks as soon as the fluid goes in

[bearogden]

Hello everyone i am new to this and also to the 1992 ford explorer XLT. I just got it off another owner and did a recent oil and trans fluid change on it, but now after all the fluid changes, i go through about a case of ATF in less then a 3 day hit. I see the leak but i do not know the name of the problem or the know how to fix it. Can anyone help me with this matter as i like my truck and cant afford to put to much money into it.

Thank You
Bearogden

Did you replace the gasket on the pan when you changed the fluid? If so, did you use the correct tightening order? Any ideas as to where the leak is coming from?

I just looked under the truck and saw that the bolts that attach the transmission to this other what looks like a smaller trans are missing and the smaller trans is attached to the driveline. I think the 2 go together from what it looks like, does anyone know what that other smaller trans thing is called. If i replace the bolts i think i have the problem solved. But i dont know where to look for a diag of the drive line for this model so i can be sure as to what i need to do, and what the name of the parts i need to know.

Thanks

that small trans is the transfercase.........go buy a haynes or chiltons repair manual to give you detailed drawings and procedures to fix your truck. best money you can buy.

Thank you very much, like i said i just noticed several bolts that hold the TC to the TRN are gone or broken so i think that is why when i put the fluid in it come right back out. Atleast i hope that is the problem.
