    leaky valve cover?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    anybody else experienced this?

    went to have the tranny fluid swapped out along w/ filter, gasket, etc.

    and found out that the valve gasket is bad and leaking like crazy.

    anybody else had this happen? how much did it run you? etc.

    i think im gonna tackle it myself instead of having the shop do it. too much money im expecting and i got nothing to do over xmas break.

    ^^ I just got mine changed. The cover gasket is like $30 bucks. There is a good DIY on here. I had a local mechanic change it for me, about $120 labor, wasn't bad.
