Re: 2000 Rodeo 4WD LS transmission leak

It's on the pasenger side of the tranny toward the front. It is round and held in by a snap ring. It about 2" in diameter, I think.

I had that problem "the leaking" last week and I am trying to look for a write-up on how to fix this. I look at those diargrams but I don't have those tools to fix it. Has anyone find a easy way/tools to fix it? or a simple write-up?

Thanks

Ken

Re: 2000 Rodeo 4WD LS transmission leak

You have to push in on the middle of the cover as you release the snap ring with some snap ring pliers (super cheap at any parts or tool store). If the cover doesn't pop out, you can start the truck briefly and the pressure will push it out. Use a crow bar or something similar to apply pressure.

This morning I tried 4 hrs just to figure out how to push the cover in... I tired many different ways, but no luck. I saw that there is a special tool that I need in order to put the spring in. Has anyone try to push the cover in by using a simple tool (that I can buy it cheap) other than a special tool?

2eyefishclaw claims he can do one before you can drink a beer.
Let me see if I can find another post... Did you get the snap ring out?

Here it is. And don't hate 2eye for doing in 15 minutes what you couldn't do in 4 hours!

I couldn't even push the piston in because the spring behind it is too strong.

Re: 2000 Rodeo 4WD LS transmission leak

I am doing this fix now, based on the info from this thread.

I can not get the original accumulator cover out! the car has ran for at least 15 minutes and it hasn't budged. yes, the snap ring is out.

edit - I let the trans get into 3rd gear after putting the rear axle on jack stands. As soon it it hit 3rd gear, I heard a "pop". I shut off the car and slowly took it back to being stopped. Didn't want to jam on the brakes. The accumulator cover had come out! The spring was outside of the garage, and the accumulator piston thingy was on the floor near the transmission. Another option is to press the WINTER button on your center console. This should force the trans' into 3rd gear, which means you don't have to lift the rear wheels. Totally not proven though.

I'd recomend putting a piece of wood up between the transmission and the driveshaft to control that springs energy some.

Also, I used a really long breaker bar to put in the new cover. I put at smaller ~9/16" socket in like suggested above. using the frot driveshaft as the pivot, I got enough force to press it in. I'm a bit of a weakling (~150 bench press) so I had to put my leg on the frame. Once the cover was in, I didn't need to multi-task and get the clip in at the same time. I remove the lever/bar and the cover stayed in place while I got the snap ring ready.

Re: 2000 Rodeo 4WD LS transmission leak

Also,
I am doing the transmission filter at the same time. Taking down the cross member and trans' mount took all of 30 minutes. I used a jack stand to support the Transfer case.

Thanks again for the insite guys!

Would someone mind sending this thread on to the FAQ creators so that the "3rd gear is needed to pop out the cover" tidbit can be included.
Thanks! Next step is to fix the detonation.

The transmission is a 4l30e.
The part in question is the Accumulator Piston.
the seals for it can be called o-rings, gaskets, or repair kit.

Here is another jnfo source with some oem type part number to help with searching. Scroll down to the all CAPS post.
