Transmission Leakage

Recommended Posts

I hope someone can help me. I have a 2005 Damon Challenger with the Ford V10 engine. I am very happy with this motorhome that was purchased new in Sept of 04, and have had minimal issues. The one issue that I have, that no one seems to be able to explain is that I get a transmission leak when the coach is left without use for a while.

It seems to be worse in hot weather conditions. I have taken it to several places, Ford. Aamco, several RV service centers, and no one can give me answers. The last place told me that my overflow vent was clogged, and that the pan needed tightening. I paid for this service, then left my coach where I have a deeded RV lot on Lake hartwell in South Carolina. Months later I notice that the transmission still leaks, and the time for return has past.

Can anyone help me with this or has anyone had the same problem that can direct me as to what I should do.

Thanks for your help

I had exactly the same symptoms on an earlier model Bounder with the 460, I took mine to L&R Transmission in Winston Salem, NC just two weeks ago. They re-sealed the pump, chkd the torque converter, replaced the front and rear seals and serviced the transmission with synthetic fluid at my request. Very good shop, and very clean too which is unusual for a transmission shop. They also found a cooler line fitting that was leaking. Everything perfect now under 800.00 I was also told that my vent was plugged, that wrong diagnosis by someone else cost me a 100.00. If you want to make the trip give them a call, I don't think you will be sorry. 336-760-9055 Ask for Steve.
