Transmission leaking?
I have a build up of fluid around the bottom of my transmission. Is it leaking? I recently (two months ago) had its fluid replaced bya Jiffy Lube and it shifts great. How can I fix this short of a rebuild. What would/should a rebuild cost?
Thanks
Thanks

The seals are cheap, the labour is expensive, unless you can do it yourself. I had a leaking tranny, it's a lot of work getting it in and out, but I'd rather do the work than pay for it to be done (whenever possible/practical).

You can purchase a used transmission in Canada for 1/3 the cost of a rebuild. I had mine rebuilt and it still shifted poorley. Bought a used one for $400.00 Installed. Much happier Rx driver now.

I had a big issue with my 88 GXL where all the tranny fluid very slowly leaked out of it. It is apparently a common bug - if that is your problem, then replacing the front and rear seals will do the trick. It is a ton of labor, cost me like $500. But I looked at several used transmissions and they were all crap. My mechanic agreed - better to fix something you know works than take the risk.....
