AWD Laser tranny swap problem!?!?!

[Jeff_Ferrara]

Hey I had recently swapped a new tranny into my 1990 5peed awd talon, the car had never leaked a drop of oil before, but since the new tranny has been put in, its been leaking some oil. the tranny is from a AWD laser, and i figure they should be the same tranny?? I have also heard that the laser trannys are notorious for going through transfer cases, and i think thats where my leak is coming from. Someone let me know if they have heard of this problem with swapping awd laser transmissions
thanks!

Laser transmissions are the exact same as talon transmissions. Why would Mitsu/Chrysler make a different transmission for the same car with a different trim package?

You are probably leaking from your transfer case or axle seals. Go under the car and look.
