Fixing Your Truck's Transmission Fluid Leak: A Step-by-Step Guide to Rear Output Seal Replacement
If you're noticing persistent transmission fluid leaks from the rear of your US domestic truck, it might be due to a faulty rear output seal, which is a common issue but fixable. Start by confirming the leak source by looking for fluid near the driveshaft connection, checking the transmission fluid level, and inspecting the seal for damage. Gather tools like a replacement seal, tool kit, drain pan, shop rags, and gloves. Follow a step-by-step guide to replace the seal: park your truck safely, drain the transmission fluid, disconnect the driveshaft, remove the old seal, clean the area, install the new seal, reassemble the components, and refill the transmission fluid. Always consult your truck’s repair manual for specific instructions and torque settings.
