Getting ready to remove the 4HP22

[whiskychaser]

Ugh 4HPXX gearboxes my E31 is going into the shop tonight because it's suddenly started pissing ATF on the floor faster than I can refill it.

TC oil seal?

TC oil seal?

I hope not because I've just sold the car for about £4k to another enthusiast, I'm hoping it's one of the oil cooler lines becuase there's a -lot- of oil coming out of it...

If it's the TC oil seal I'm going to lose at least half of that value because of the rebuild cost :/ no time or space to pull the transmission these days.

Pulling the tranny is not that bad. Can't do it yourself?

No time or space, and I don't live where I used to so I'm not rolling around in a sharp gravel carpark doing that again.

Ohhh that gets ugly

Magically she's all fixed, we were about to tow her off to the indy when a friend of mine insisted on sliding under to have a look.

I wish I had done so earlier - it was just a bolt on one of the oil cooler lines had backed out!

I love a story with a happy ending

Sometimes it is that easy... LOL!

Tranny was received, rebuilt and put on the dyno last night, should hear today on the outcome.
