spideyz Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi guys, I am starting to drive my 87 brat, 4spd manual,now as a daily driver since the 89 wangon blew up. I am getting a fairly significant transmission fluid leak. It looks like it is coming from the back up light switch which is screwed into the side of the tranny. Since I hadn't been driving it, I hadn't taken care of the leak, but now that I am using it, I want to take care of this. I have not replace the aluminum gasket yet, which would be the cheapest fix. If that is the cause, great, but what I'd like to ask from the board is: Can oil leak *through* the switch? If so, how much do these things run. I guess I could just pick one up at the junk yard for 10 bucks. is there a chance the oil could be leaking from elsewhere and just be dripping off of the switch? Can I just plug the hole? Anyone know were to get a plug that size? If you have a know good extra of these switches, let me know. Thanks. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Prolly just the washer/gasket like you noted. Look real close at the plug and wire coming out of the middle of the plug. If it was leaking through the plug it would be seaping out right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
