The rear seal on my transmission (manual) was leaking so I changed it this weekend. The fluid that came out when I removed the driveshaft looked like a melted strawberry milk shake. Not exactly what I was expecting to say the least. I am assuming that its not good, but what does transmission fluid that looks like this indicate?

Re: Transmission fluid looks wierd
it sounds like you got moisture in it some how. it takes dexron III i believe which is red and then if you get water into it it will turn milky lol you should have seen my ranger with 265k on the original fluid -

That's a good indication of contaminated fluid. I would drain and refill.-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beaterComment
