Hi all Im new to this forum, but not new to forum's.
I have a question for the gurus here.
Im looking into buying a 93 fullsize bronco for 800 dollars (here comes the kicker)
The guy selling it says someone took it out for a test drive, and when they came back the transmission was puking out fluid from (what he says) where the transfer case and tranny mate.
Im actually going to look at it this weekend, but i was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what to look for/expect as far as damage that may have been done as a result of this, or what would be involved to fix it (im assuming a new seal... but cant understand how it would be losing as much fluid as he says unless the seal isnt there anymore.)
after speaking with him again today, he says the truck "put itself into neutral"
after losing the fluid so he towed it back to the lot, and if he fills the tranny up, he can fire her up put her in gear and drive about 10 feet before she "puts itself into neutral".
Im no master tech, but i dont shy from turning wrenches.
I fully plan on buying this terd and fixing the problem, unless of course it would cost more to fix than im buying it for.
any suggestions?
:beer:
thanks for the help!
