My car started making light grinding noises and noises while idling through the transmission. I drove it a little and it started popping out of gear. I went straight home and checked the fluid and added some. I added over 2 quarts. Then I did it again a few days later. My transmission is leaking and it doesn't appear to be the axle seals. The only other place it could leak would be the input shaft right (as long as the case isn't cracked, which it isn't)? How difficult is the seal to replace? I know the transmission needs to be pulled. Any pointers, any othe suggestions, it seems wet near the rubber covers where the shift linkage attaches to the trans, could it be leaking from there? Pretty please?!
Thanks
Aaron

what is this "top sensor" you speak of... my tranny is leaking too (not quite to the same extent) so some help from you guys on this would be beneficial to me too! Is there a "pan" on the belly of the tranny that has a gasket and a filter? Could that the gasket be worn, and thus causing a leak?

the toip speed sensor, this tranny WILL leak if overfilled.. the sensor is right on top where you fill it. Also case may be leaking. Im not sure if the linkage leaks.
