 Subject: Fix Tranny or Not?
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2000 Dakota 4x4 V8 4.7L that blew the
front transmission seal. It is at the dealer and
the dealer is saying that they have to replace the
front pump and the torque converter because seals
don't "just blow like that without a reason."
Dealer is saying the reason the seal gave way is
the bushings have gone bad in the pump which will
also tear up the torque converter...hence it all
needs to be replaced. I have had no major symptoms
of the converter going bad before the seal gave
way...no slippage or anything like that. I have
changed the transmission fluid about 2 years ago
so maintenance has always been on schedule. Dealer
wants an arm and a leg to fix it and I'm wary of
them ripping me off.
Anyone have an opinion?
Thanks!
