Help replacing transmission dipstick o-ring

[bigceltic]

My truck has been sitting for a couple of weeks and I noticed trans fluid on the garage floor. After some investigation I think it is coming from where the trans dipstick enters the pan, and I have read that the o-rings can allow this to happen (esp since I removed the check valve last summer) and need to be replaced. I have searched TDR but was unable to find info on how to remove the dipstick in order to do the replacement - does it just pull out?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, it just pulls out, AFTER you unbolt it. It has a bracket welded on it that bolts to the block or the transmission housing, I can’t remember. If I remember correctly it’s reached easily from underneath. Just follow the tube up from the bottom.

Thanks! I have the seal/boot/whatever you call it - parts search shows "Seal, oil filler" as part 52118629AB - hopefully I ordered the right part - on order and will pull the assy out and try to replace it. Appreciate the help.

That looks correct. You want have any trouble.

Upon further inspection, and testing, I think I also have a leak coming from the trans control harness connector (above and behind the range sensor).

Anyone have the part number or where to purchase a new one? From my research I may not be able to get a stock part due to it being discontinued. Do I have to drop the VB to replace this?

I don't know about that one. Maybe someone else will step in here and help.

I think this is the part. https://www.1aauto.com/dodge-jeep-transmission-control-solenoid-pair/i/1atrx00090?f=702382&y=2006

Can anyone confirm? I am pretty sure I need to remove the VB.

Yep, you'll need to drop the valve body.
