I haven't had any issues with my trans until recently. Suddenly the entire underside of the truck is dripping trans fluid. It seems to be coming from the weep hole in the inspection/dust cover at the converter. Having recently serviced the transmission and draining the TC, I thought maybe the plug is loose, so I removed the cover; TC is completely dry. During the service, I had some larger metal flakes on the magnet, but no bigger than 1/8"
After some searches, it looks like the most probably culprit is either the pump or converter seal. Anything else it may be? Is it common for these to let go without much warning or starting off as a slow leak?
When I got fuel last night, the truck shut off on my when going from drive to reverse; is this connected to the trans being low on fluid? It started right back up without hesitation. I towed most of the weekend with it around 30K combined and didn't have temp issues. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Also, what are some reputable shops in the Houston area?
