ATX side pan leak

[Sarge1400]

The side pan on my atx has a leak As far as I can tell, it's the gasket. Can that gasket be replaced without pulling the trans? It doesn't look like there's ANY room to pull the pan.

Yes.

It is a little tricky to get the trans support piece removed, but I have done it. Once that is off, you can (carefully) remove the end cover and replace the gasket.

Cool. What gasket do I need, what's it called?

 

[rubydist]

I believe its called the valve body cover gasket.

Just as a precaution. When I did mine I found rust on the bottomside of the pan. Im sure if left unattended to it could rust through so inspect yours to make sure you dont have the same issue. So give it a good cleaning and throw a coat of paint on it. Gotta love road salt.
