When replacing engine mounts, I discovered a leak in my FOM transmission that otherwise functions perfectly. After cleaning, it appears the fluid seems to be seeping through the selector shaft seal. About 4 oz. has accumulated in one month (sitting idle). The rest of the transmission exterior, including the pan, rear seal and filler tube appear to be dry. There has never been any leaking from the fill tube, so I can safely assume the vent is functioning.
Question: Can that seal (and pan gasket/filter screen) be replaced with the transmission in the car (without too much disassembly), or am I looking at a "leave it/rebuild it" proposition?
Thanks.
