I went to Renner Mitsubishi (Milwaukee, WI) a few days ago, to break down and have PROFESSIONALS install my passenger side axle seal - because 3 of mine had leaked. After a couple days, when they had time to look at it - they determind that my transmission was leaking between ALL of the cases. I don't know if I used bad sealant, (RTV RED - High Temp) didn't torque enough, had a hairline crack or what but its something that I need to fix soon, and I don't want to pay the hundreds of dollars to have the dealership do it.

I have taken apart this transmission a couple times before, and the VFAQ write-ups make it easy. I have done a center differential repair/replacement before, and I was able to do it without dropping the transmission. My question is: Can I get to ALL 3 cases ON-CAR? & Should I stick with RTV BLACK?
 
Has this "case split" happened to anyone before, and if so did fluid get all over the transmission, not just leak on the ground?

Why would High Temp RTV not work?

:confused:
