In this riveting episode of ChrisFix, our hero delves into the heart of a common car malady: the loose shifter. With the finesse of a seasoned surgeon, ChrisFix dissects the issue, showcasing the excessive play that plagues gear changes and undermines driving pleasure. As the camera pans beneath the vehicle, a leaking transmission is revealed, staining the pristine driveway—a sight that would make any gearhead cringe. The culprit? A worn-down transmission seal, a sneaky foe that ChrisFix fearlessly tackles head-on.
Armed with an arsenal of tools and products, including polyurethane bushings and a new shifter seat, ChrisFix embarks on a mission to restore the car's shifting prowess. The interior trim is deftly removed, unveiling the inner workings of the shifter assembly like a magician revealing his secrets. With precision and skill, bolts are loosened, linkages are disconnected, and the leaking shift seal is exposed, ready to be replaced. The transmission fluid is drained, a crucial step before the seal can be swapped out, ensuring a clean and efficient repair process.
With the old seal out and the shaft sanded to perfection, the new seal is expertly installed, sealing the fate of the pesky leak once and for all. The transmission is replenished with fresh fluid, a final touch that signals the completion of the repair. Through meticulous attention to detail and a passion for all things automotive, ChrisFix transforms a sloppy shifter and a leaky transmission into a well-oiled machine, ready to tackle the open road with newfound confidence and precision.
