Hello all

Replaced the engine in my 97 Outback with a 2.2lt from a 95 Legacy. Standard trans to an automatic.

Finally sorted out the engine rough idling issue. But now, trans fluid is leaking from below. Lots.

Seal? Has anyone else have these issues.

Did I damage a seal in the trans when I installed the engine?

Thanks

If you removed the torque converter from the trans you probably cut the input seal on the trans.

Double check the hoses for the trans cooler since one of those may have got knicked or split while installing the engine.

so the spec on the car now ?

97obw chassis

95 ej22 engine

with an auto trans?

 

if yes? it could be the input seal in the trans, as mentioned.

or it could be the trans fluid cooler lines that go to the radiator.

 

you need to crawl under and see where it is coming from.

Will check the cooler lines.

Hope not the input seal.

Thanks for the comments.

Could be input seal resulting from improper seating of torque converter.  Hopefully the Torque converter was seated all the way?  Are you sure you lined it up or did you force it?
