Leaking transmission, how do you fix this ?

I have a 98 Jeep grand cherokee, and i noticed it hasnt been shifting very well anymore, usually has a delayed shift to it on 2nd and 3rd gear. I decited to run the car for awhile and check the transmission fluid and it was very low. So i filled it back up to the OK mark and it shifts fine now.



I brought the car to Advanced Auto parts and they checked the Jeep out and it has 3 Codes, 1 was for a speed sensor, the other was for the Ignition Coil. The 3rd was a code he couldnt tell what it was for and said only a Jeep dealership would know. He checked under the car and noticed the Transmission box was leaking fluid, It was coverd in fluid and dripping very slowely.



I just just had the transmission fluid changed like a month ago for $80 so i guess the moron i took it too didnt change the seal or the transmission filter. Do you guys think thats all it is as far as the small leak goes ? The seal just needs to be replaced ?



The auto parts guy showed me how to replace the ignition coil and distributor Box, which i did earlier today when i got home, and i changed the air filter. He also showed me how to drain the trannsmision fluid and take the box off and replace the seal and filter. It seems very easy to do, do you guys think thats the problem ?Leaking transmission, how do you fix this ?
You should be able to tell if the leak is from the pan by noticing where the wet spot starts or is centered. As you drive, the wind under the vehicle blows the leaked fluid around a bit, but it should still be located near whatever ';sealed'; opening is leaking.

The gasket is easy to change in the pan, just be careful not to overtighten. You should also snug the bolts and tighten them in a star pattern, much like tightening lug nuts. A torque wrench is a good idea.Leaking transmission, how do you fix this ?
id say it should fix it but id prolly look into it more u may also want to check the lines for any leaks
i bet what happened was they overfilled it and blew the front seal. you can tell by dropping the inspection plate and see if fluid is laying in it. if it,s the front seal then it,s not a easy task. if it,s a 4x4 you have to drop the transmission and transfer case to get to the seal. most vehicles today you have to drop the pan to drain it.
If your leak is around the transmission pan gasket installing a new gasket under the fluid pan will fix the leak.
