Trans leak...list of todo items?

Well the shift selector seal can be changed. what you got to do is drop the pan, filter and valve body. Now you can knock out the old seal with a hammer and screwdriver. Now to install the new seal use a long bolt and thick flat washer something that bend. On the bottom side you might need to use a second washer and deep socket. This will allow you to pull the new seal into place.

As for the lines we have those for sale on the site here.

The rest of the seals on the transmission I would talk to @Dynamic  about it.

Those are some pics from under the truck. Sorry to steer this thread back onto my original topic. ;)

From what I can tell, there seems to be 3 lines involved with the transmission. 1 driver's side, 1 passenger's side, and one short one that goes from driver's side <> passenger side. As you can tell in the pictures, they all suffer from corrosion right under the plastic retainer clips so I want to replace all 3 lines while I'm in there.

Mike:

1) Does your kit you offer have 3 lines in it? It looked like it might in the picture, but there seemed to be only 4 connectors. But I know nothing about this, so I couldn't tell.

2) The port you were thinking about putting in your OEM pan.... is it this one?: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/php-55109/overview/ the 55109?

3) Would then use a sensor like this one for the temperature? http://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p/MPETS3001SB_0481950217 Maybe there is a write up on this somewhere and I missed it. If so, PLEASE point me there and I'll try to stop bothering people.

4) These metal hoses bend and run all over the place. You recommend mounting the lines with 1/2" rubber coated hose clamps. Do you mount them to the engine to give them support? How do you do that? I don't know how much support those lines require. I want to do this 1 time and be done with them. I don't want them to have a pint of fluid in them all the time yanking up and down unsupported as I bounce down the highway.

5) Are you sticking with OEM pan to save some $$ right now instead of going with larger capacity aftermarket pan? Everything seems geared to getting a couple extra quarts of fluid for cooling. Just wondering.

 

Have I mentioned lately how much I like this site?

@Me78569 is the producer of the lines he could answer more on that.

I'm not sure what the sensor looks like being I'm trying to order a ISSPro EV2 gauge but even ISSPro web site doesn't show the sensor. But yeah it will look similar.

Again @Me78569 is the producer of these transmission line kits.

1/2 ton truck. Typically its not a primary rig but it does work when the Cummins is down for repairs. So far I'm up to $1,500 on the transmission, then $75 in fluid. My pockets are rather empty now but now spending more on the bung and gauge. I made 160k miles on stock everything. I doubt I'll gain much from aftermarket pan.

There are 3 hoses in the kit.  You will only have 4 connectors on the kit, 2 for the trans 2 for the heat exchanger,  the cooler up front just uses hose clamps.  

 

The clamps we recommend are 

 

We don't tell you were to mount them though as there are too many configurations for us to try and predict.  You can attach it in multiple areas under the truck. 

 

I have mine attached via the TC inspection cover bolt then I have a couple good areas around the subframe.
