I took my car over to a friend of my dads because he was a mechanic for many years and is supposed to know his stuff. I dont know wtf was wrong with him, if he was drunk or what but he was pissing me off. First i go out and start to change my tranny fluid on my own. I go to take the shifter off and he comes out and tells me we will put it in through the bottom. I told him i did not want to mess with that torx bolt but he insisted. He breaks off two t bits then goes at it with one that is too small. I didnt knwo wtf he was doing until it was too late. Long stor short he couldnt get the bolt out and ended up tightening it back up and i put the snchromesh in through the top like i planned. This was last night, flash forward to today. I have tranny fluid all over under my car. It doesnt look to be coming from that bolt but its hard to tell because it is everywhere. I re-did the shifter with more silicone and a better prep job but i dont know if that is it. Is it possible to put in too much fluid and it leak out somewhere? I put just under three and a half quarts. Anything helps...</p></blockquote><p></p>
