Can't fix my transmission issue.

[vitamink]

I've written about this in the past. I have pulled this thing no less than 3 times, replaced every seal and it still leaks. The transmission fluid seems to be coming from the trans shroud. Any Ideas? Both the trans and transfer case are new. The puddle of transmission fluid is about 1 days worth.

I would ask 1st if the trans is new or a remand unit, when you had it out did you see any wear marks on the converter seal area?
The seal can leave grooves in the converter some times they make a sleeve to put over the surface to give the seal a smooth fit.
I would also say to check (you can in truck) to see if its coming from the gasket on the front pump and not the seal.
I only say this because the seal will not make it leak after sitting a while but the gasket will. I hope this helps.

Also check the O-ring on the dipstck they don't always go in correct and leak .

Pull the cover and pressure wash everything, then inspect with the cover off, before and after operation.

Maybe a crack in the case?

The cover,can't come off without removing the exhaust crossover, and the starter...a wonderful design.
leak points...modulator o-ring, shift shaft seal, trans kickdown sensor seal, tranny dip stick tube seal.
those are,easy fixes and visible....then theres main converter seal and pump seal.
if it's in Leaking from the drain hole it most likely the front seal...but,removing the cover and getting a visual
will show you where it's coming from....but as stated above. Get it cleaned up....wipe it down wit brake cleaner.

They make UV dye you can put in and hit it with a blacklight. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/ac...ansmission-dye/_/N-255s?itemIdentifier=210225 I use it all the time. Get a nice LED black light flashlight...and you can follow the trail.

Sounds good. The mechanic I've been using thinks its a tranny pan gasket. It seems to be leaking a crap ton.

That isn't the pan gasket. Someone probably put a new pump seal in without replacing the pump bushing. It will always leak until that bushing gets replaced. Either that or the converter is cracked. When you bolt up the converter to the flexplate, do you get proper converter drop? If not the convert or will be tight but cocked slightly sideways causing a leak.
