Water in Tranny Advice...

[bhbuster]

Good evening!

I am pretty sure that what I am seeing is what intrusion in the tranny. My axle seals are leaking and I know those have to be replaced. I am pretty sure the entry point for the water intrusion was a wore out rubber boot on the shifter. The tranny fluid has a nice, milky, frothy white look to it which is telling me it is water...

Before I replace my seals and fluid is there anything I should pour into the tranny to help facilitate cleaning the water contamination?

This is a little B5100E that I am going to cleanup and use around my three acres.

Drain fill drain fill drain fill. Rinse and repeat until its all gone. If it doesent have a loader its that much easier/better. A few rounds with cheaper oil then finish it off with the good stuff. And a new filter.

Yep what he said.
Just use cheap universal hydraulic fluid for the flush and change.

Get it as warm as possible between changes.

Thanks!

You confirmed what I was suspecting with filling and flushing...
