Question...... Picked up the Bomber out from storage today. Come to find out after pullin her out some tranny fluid (about a 2" circle) on the ground. Wonderin if its because maybe the seal shrunk with the cold. I have the warranty no biggie. I have her at home covered for another month so Ill watch it. Anyone else seen it?

i believe its a common problem. ive read some threads that others have had the same issue

It happens to all of us, John. I had mine fixed under warranty and it took maybe 30 minutes at the dealer.

Its an O ring I believe and there is a TSB out for it.

Yeah, a simple fix. Mine wasn't covered under warranty, mine was over the miles, BUT they did it anyways.

Easy fix $15.00 part form the dealer. Plus you will need about 1-1/2 quarts of ATF+4.

I had that happen to my first car. Dealer took care of it...no charge.

Ok, I need to look out for this!

Now is this just an issue or a problem?

It's an issue that will become a problem if all of your tranny fluid drains out.

Reece...I don't think our cars have that problem. I'm pretty sure they corrected it for newer models.

Common problem on I think 06 and earlier. Mine started to spot with less than 5k on it. Easy fix.

Took the bommer to the dealer this morn. pan drain plug seal bad. Have extended warr with 100.00 deductable. Cost to fix 98.88 go figure, but its fixed

im glad it was no big deal.now you can sleep well tonight Very Happy

Subject: Re: Bomber was bleeding while in storage March 5th 2010, 6:21 pm

John....they should have taken care of it for FREE!

Subject: Re: Bomber was bleeding while in storage March 5th 2010, 6:25 pm

do you think ?whats regular warranty, I dont remember its 4 yrs old. I have the extended but it comes with a 100.00 deductable

Subject: Re: Bomber was bleeding while in storage March 5th 2010, 6:28 pm

Hmmmm....I wonder if that's the difference. I had just the regular warranty but it happened before it ran out and they fixed it for free. This is a known problem though...they should have taken care of it for nothing.

Subject: Re: Bomber was bleeding while in storage March 5th 2010, 7:13 pm

i have extended also..$200.00 dollar deductable..my transfer case leaked a couple of years ago.they replaced it..i was glad i just had to pay the deductable
