Automatic Transmission Sealant Question
Hello all,
I just had my 4Runner transmission fluid swapped for Amsoil at what I thought was a reputable transmission shop because the dealer wouldn't do the swap with Amsoil. I won't bore you with all of the details, but I had to bring the truck there 4 times before they were able to keep the fluid from leaking out. However, I discovered today that they put the transmission pan gasket sealer in the filler tube joint along with the o-ring in order to guarantee the filler tube joint would not leak. I'm wondering if this could cause any problems down the road.
Please advise.
Thanks.
John
