Diesel Dragon 03-23-2005, 12:19 AM Calling all tranny rebuilders and experts If you remove the driveshaft from the tranny does any tranny fluid leak out, and if it does how much? Thx in advance Diesel Dragon cid` 03-23-2005, 01:43 AM Cant answer with 100% certainty, but I do not recall it leaking fluid when it was taken off (Watched as Mike L took car apart for SC III) Diesel Power 03-23-2005, 02:02 AM mine didn't leak.. Mackin 03-23-2005, 05:54 AM Will be dry if it's leaking you have problem. Diesel Dragon 03-23-2005, 04:47 PM Ok thx, Now I know it's ok to remove my driveshaft and not have to take a bath in tranny fluid :lol: partsguy662 03-23-2005, 05:02 PM Ok thx, Now I know it's ok to remove my driveshaft and not have to take a bath in tranny fluid :lol:DD - technically if you have a 4wd, your driveshaft doesn't go into the transmission anyway...you're pulling it out of the transfer case.....My guess is you'll lose little to none, as long as you don't have the front end in the air.... Mike L. 03-23-2005, 05:10 PM Is it 2X4 or 4X4? Partsguy 662 is correct driveshaft will go into transfer case if 4X4, and into trans if 2X4. I always like to have rear of truck higher than front and a clean pan under housing where the shaft comes out. When you are done just pour fluid back into filler tube with funnel and you are good to go. mike Diesel Dragon 03-23-2005, 07:24 PM It's a 4x4 Ok I'll put a pan under there just in case and remember to keep my face out of the way ;) DD Mackin 03-23-2005, 07:40 PM Drago don't bother you wont see a drop. Why are you pulling the driveshaft anyway? dmaxalliTech 03-23-2005, 07:51 PM If its a 2wd, you dont open the seal anyways, its a flange on the tranny...
