Hi all,
I have a 2006 Accord VP with Auto tranny. 287K miles
My transmission was rebuilt at 128k. It leaks ATF slowly but surely. 1quart to 1.5quart per 8k miles.
While it is difficult to tell exactly where it is leaking from, I can definitely tell:
It is not leaking out of drive shaft seals.
It is not leaking out of any bolts that tighten outside body.
The best that I can guess it is leaking from the place where control shaft enter transmission.

Questions:
Is this something that a handy DIY can replace?
Is there a step by step guide?
I am willing to let it be, but got tired of seeing oil spots on the driveway.

Thank you very much for all the answers.

Do you see a leak where the trans meets the block?
If so, it is the input shaft seal and no, this is not a DIY handy job.
The trans has to be removed to replace that seal then put back on.

 

I don't think so. As I said, I see a leak where a a control shaft enters tranny. It is towards the back of the car. I think this control shaft tells tranny which speed position the driver selected.

Please if anyone know how to replace the seal at this control shaft entrance, speak up.

TIA.

 

Pocture of where its leaking?

First picture in the album shows the control shaft entering transmission.

I have other pictures there. I appreciate any feedback. If any of the pictures need more detail, or if I am missing a picture, please let me know.

 

Ok, so it looks like it is just held on by 3 bolts.
you should be able to just remove the 3 bolts and change a gasket that sits between that plate and transmission and bolt it all back up.
