I'm posting about my daughter's '97 626 V6 with 191K on the clock. This car may have reached the end of it's days but, hopefully not. The main problem is the transmission. It's leaking fluid somewhere. I haven't determined where yet. I put 2 quarts in but, when I took it for a spin, the stick came back dry dry. It's slipping between gears of course. Any common places to look for the leak?

I'll mention the other problems in case they might be related though I don't think they are. It's throwing the following codes.

P0134
P0300
P0734
P1195

From that I'd say both O2 sensors (this car does have 2 right?) are shot and it needs a tune-up but, I'm not doing that until I figure out the trans problem.

The only other problems I can detect are some badly worn front hub bearings.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

you must have a nasty crack on your transmision if it comes dry dry every time you take for a spin, I have the same car
is a manual transmission???
I had a leak between the motor and transmision, other posible leak is that the transmsion most have some part of it body crack... U must take to a mechanic beacause if you continued to used like that, you can break the transmission went it is dry you will notice by the sound it makes

yes it has two sensors, one on the maniful the other one on the exhust system on the catalic replace them

does the engine have any failures???
do a tune up, gas filter,sparks, sparks cables,air filter,boards of the valve covers,oil and filter oil change up

this can improve more the engine

 

yea i have a 96 and i had the same problem where it was cracked between the motor and the tranny, and this is on the 3rd rebuilt too, but nothing else is wrong with the car.
