I have a 91 Grand voyager and it seems to be loosing transmission fluid somewhere but no puddles anywhere.It looses between 3/4 and 1 quart a month an shifts fine.
Where could this be escaping at as I drive it?
What do I need to look at since its not dripping anywhere an I snugged the pan an didn't see it there?
Thanks

Assuming you have an automatic. Do you have a stand alone trans oil cooler or part of radiator? I would be checking cooling fluid and tranny fluid see if they mixed. If so, stop driving it. You will damage your tranny.

Still leaking.I'm going to change the pan gasket .would changing filter be a good idea with 175k miles on it ,an using same fluid(its slowly been replaced with over 5 quarts of added fluids over last 6 months )?...
I've heard of problems after changing old fluids an filter .

What else should I look at or tighten when pan is off and im under it..maybe shift solenoids?
