Hey folks,
Looks like bad luck has found me again.....
Checked oil level in my 5000 only to find it "overflowing". Oil pan had to be FULL!
I figure this could only be due to rear seal failing and trans hydraulic fluid moving into the oil pan.
Any other thoughts????
Guess I will have to split the beast and try to replace the seal.
Any guidance on the process, special tools required, etc? (I do have factory service manual, but if you have done it before, sure would help!)
Any comments on what else to check or deal with while it is opened up?
Seems this might be more work and $$$ than worth, but i have always tried to fix rather than replace.
Thanks for any and all help!
