Tranny Tubes __top__ ◉

The most frequent failure point is the rubber seal at the transmission case. Over years of heat cycles, the rubber hardens, cracks, and shrinks. This causes transmission fluid to seep out around the base of the tube. 2. Corrosion and Rust

Reinstall the upper mounting bolt to secure the tube in place. Reinsert the dipstick, top off any lost transmission fluid, start the vehicle, and check the base of the tube for any active leaks.

This is the metal pipe that extends from the transmission housing up into the engine bay. It allows you to check fluid levels with a dipstick and provides a port to add fresh transmission fluid.
