2007 Ford Explorer Transmission
I own a 2007 ford explorer Eddie Bauer Edition - 170,000 miles - had tranny rebuilt last October at 155,180 miles. I now have approx. 14,900 miles on tranny (warranty was only for 12,000 miles) and last Sunday I had a puddle of tranny fluid on my garage floor. Good news is fluid was very clean and very pinkish red, no burnt smell at all. Bad thing is, it has been at my mechanic's garage since then (was towed in) and has not leaked again. Has been sitting for a week and no spot of anything under the vehicle. They drove it yesterday and could not get it to leak. My husband and brother in law looked under vehicle when I noticed the puddle and they both agreed it looked to be leaking where tranny and motor come together so we are thinking seal. My mechanic isn't sure that's the case as it has not leaked since. Any ideas? I've read horror stories about these transmissions but thought once I had mine rebuilt I would be ok, at least for longer than 15,000 miles. Is there a relationship between clutch fan and tranny ?
Thanks for any help
