C4 Trannie leak....

[genthree]

Anyone ever had a C4 leak right where the shift linkages enter the housing?  I was down removing my Neutral safety switch and noticed some fresh fluid on the ground and fresh fluid on the linkage and nut....

yo, This happens on mayny C4, C5, and C 6's.
 
Could be caused by worn shaft and/or Oring; get o ring from trans repair shop.

There is a lever seal and an o-ring that can leak in that area. Try replacing the o-ring first because it's the easiest. 1/2" wrench, remove kick-down lever and the o-ring is right there around the shaft.

If it needs a manual-lever seal, that requires removal of the valve body to access the 7/8" nut holding the lever on.
