Merchant or somewhere else has just the seal but the harness can be done just as easy. Only place I found in town for the whole harness was transtar near down town. Otherwise amazon is your best/cheapest (rockauto might be too).She's out. View attachment 104705

The round connector at the back of the trans is full of fluid...is there a seal I need to replace, or does the whole internal harness need to be replaced?
I've been trying to find how the Merchant seals work. Looks like they offer just a seal, and a seal with internal connector body. Can't find videos or instructions for installation on either one...connector body obviously goes on from inside the pan, but does the seal install from the outside? If I don't have to open the pan I won't...but if I do have to open the pan, I need a new gasket and might as well do the internal filter as well.Merchant or somewhere else has just the seal but the harness can be done just as easy.

yeah pan has to come off for you to change out the harness. its really simple though, just do it when its back in the truck. use a big socket to collapse the clips that holds the connector into the trans and knock it out. think its like a 30mm or something that fits it.I've been trying to find how the Merchant seals work.

No, only replaced gaskets and seals.Do any tweaks while the pump was off?

I replaced both of those gaskets and it's now dry on the outside. Could those gaskets allow trans fluid to get inside the bellhousing? Seems like fluid inside the bellhousing would have to originate inside. Only way I can see for fluid to get inside would be a bolt o-ring leak, converter snout seal leak, or pump o-ring leak. Maybe I'm missing something?pics show the bellhousing rrreeeallll wet around where it mates to the trans. sure its not leaking at the top and coming down?
