Auto box leaking from front diff. oil spraying ever where.

Post by big red bus »

Has any one got a exploded diagram of a auto box for a T3. I have diff oil being sprayed ever where by the torque converter.
Just got back from a week away and had this problem days before leaving. Decided to remove box and replace front input shaft seal thinking this would fix it. 400 miles later it has made no difference and have oil ever where underneath.
So now I cannot understand where the oil is leaking from. Its definately gear oil so front the front diff section, not the auto box atf. so does any one have or know where I could get a piccie to see the box exposed before I take it back out.
Thanks in advance.

Here you go,

1st pic is the auto box assembly,

2nd pic is an exploded view of the diff.

If you are sure it is diff oil my bet would have been the torque converter oil seal. If you have replaced this I would clean up the box, run it for a few miles and try to ID the source of the leak.

Thanks for that. Just what I was after.
Its definitely diff oil that's why I changed the input shaft seal which is the same one listed as torque converter seal I think. Have washed off today and run engine. Oil instantly reappears at the base of the bell housing and then when driven gets flung around by the torque converter.
So either I messed up fitting the seal or the leak is from another source.
