| Subject: | Axle Seal Leak 6T70/6T75 |
| with 6T70 or 6T75 transmission |
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
Vehicle may have a transaxle fluid leak from the axle/halfshaft seal on either right or left side.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Be sure to determine where the leak is located remembering the halfshafts will sling fluid upwards at times. This may disguise the leak as coming from the side cover or other location. The parts and repair restrictions have been lifted for axle seal repairs.
If the leak is from an axle seal, obtain the parts thru normal channels. Be sure to use special tool number J44394-A when installing the axle/halfshaft into the new seal. ( Important : Failure to use seal protector J44394-A can cause the seal to be cut and create
an immediate leak or in cases of slight damage, leaks will occur as mileage accumulates.)
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
