on the transmissions in the first gen aveos like my 2004 with the 4 speed auto, what lubes the final drive (differential)? does the transmission fluid make it back there?
was just wondering as I cant seem to find any info on this and occasionally my trans fluid level fluctuates. I have been checking it in the same level place every time and there are no leaks. the trans cooler is not leaking either. ive never liked auto transmissions for this reason because ive never seemed to be able to get consistent readings no matter if I check It or I I have someone else do it.
I guess I was wondering if its possible for the fluid to be going back to the diff area and not returning to the pan. I had a 96 chevy blazer that had the back seal on the trans go out and would fill the transfer case with ATF. I was wondering if anyone knew if something similar could happen with these and the final drive. I cant seem to find anything online anywhere of it happening...
thanks.
