Hi. First, make sure your transmission is not low on fluid. Check (or have it checked) when it is warm, after driving it. Also find out if your car should be in park, neutral or drive (be sure to set the parking brake) when checking the fluid level. If you have a visible leak and are having to add fluid to the transmission regularly, there are two seals. One in the back (tail), which can be changed without removing the transmission on some cars. The front seal will require removing the transmission and without proper tools and equipment is a pretty big (and expensive) job. If your fluid level is low (below the add mark on the dipstick) enough, the torque converter will not be able to move the car. Warming up the car could allow the torque converter to get more fluid and then it is able to move. The seals are not expensive, but the amount of labor makes the cost high. Without further information and details it is hard to give you specific advice. I hope this helps you. So, as I said, first determine that the transmission is not low on fluid. Then try to determine where the leak is located. This can be tricky if there is fluid blown all around and on your transmission. If your car is a rear wheel drive, you can disconnect the drive shaft from the rear end, then slide it backwards a ways until the front end (of the drive shaft) pulls out of the transmission. You should be able to see the seal there. Remove the old one and be very careful when inserting the new seal that you don't damage it. Good Luck!

If it's an exterior seal you'll see tranny fluid on the ground where you park. But to me it sounds like you may be low on tranny fluid, pull the dipstick and see if it is marked with a cold reading level, if it is you'll see if your low or not. If there is no cold level reading point on the dipstick, you'll have to block at least one of the wheels front and back, then start the car and let it warm up, then with the parking brake on and your foot on the brake, shift the transmission selector to reverse, then , neutral and then through all speeds and then back to neutral. Ease off the foot brake and assure yourself the car wont move, now check the dipstick again after first wiping it clean and reinserting it.
These are general instructions for checking the tranny level on most vehicles and barring conflicting instructions in the owners manual or the dipstick, should be applicable to your car, If this isn't it, sorry your next stop will be a transmission shop. Good luck.

Changing the seals in your transmission will only solve a problem of your transmission leaking fluid out through your seals, nothing else.It does sound like there are other problems. I'd try have the fluid and filter changed first.Maybe even put in some additive. If that doesn't help the only other remedy is to have it rebuilt.

Answer 5

Sounds like more than just a seal, sounds like needs rebuild or replacement.
