Tranny Fluid Leak
I changed my tranny fluid and did a complete flush. Every thing went smooth with the exception that I noticed a puddle of new tranny fluid when putting new fluid into the fill tube. I crawled under to see where it was coming from and the filler has a little hole rotted through down near the tranny, where the tube starts to bend a little.
How hard is it to put a new one in? How do I tackle this? Any info would help. Thanks

I looked in the haynes manual and I see no where in there that it talks about replacing the transmission dipstick filler. I am really getting disgusted with this ford truck!!

why bother to change it? just take a little sand paper and rub back and forth over the hole to scuff it ut. wipe it off with acetone or a non oily cleaner, then put a dap of JB weld or liquid metal etc over the hole. You could probably even use RTV since there really is no pressure in the tube.
