have someone weld a patch panel on it, or if it is small enough use a product called JB Weld which can be picked up at any autoparts store.
I just read about this at http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1993-to-1998-lincoln-mark-viii-6.htm2 issues:Automatic transmission: Transmission shudder or vibration under light acceleration or when shifting between third and fourth gear above 35 mph can be fixed by replacing the transmission fluid with Mercon 5 fluid. (1992-94) Be sure to drain the torque converter or you leave huge amount of old fluid in the system. The round, black plastic plug in the bell housing, just in front of the tranny oil pan, is the access to the plug. Rotate the engine with a wrench on the crankshaft to get the plug to the bottom.Also, replace the 1-2 accumulator piston and springs. The original piston suffers from poor design and the springs are likely broken. You can do this easily as it is accessible once you remove the tranny oil pan when changing the oil.Automatic transmission: The transmission may slip and the engine may flare when the transmission shifts into fourth gear, which can often be traced to a bad TR/MLP sensor. (1993-95)
if it was white in the first place, then no.
Yes. Any water fording above roughly the door frame can result in water getting into the transmission pan on an automatic.
try the cool line fitting from the radiator to the transmission i just had that problem on a 1994 mercury Sometimes you can leak out of the tailhousing of your transmission if the housing seal is slightly damaged
It stands for Panda.
If you tear a hole in your transmission pan shut your vehicle down as quickly as possible and have it towed home. You can get a new transmission pan and some new fluid for far less than it costs to rebuild/replace your transmission.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but another contributor had mentioned that there was a piece that plugged the transmission dipstick hole at the factory that was pushed into the transmission pan when the dipstick tube was installed . It indicated that it was the first time the transmission pan had been off
Transmissions have lines that run from the transmission to the oil cooler in front ot the engine. Most of the time, it's made into the radiator. These metal lines sometimes rub against the metal chasis, causing a hole. It may also be corroded from a leaking battery case. Remove the battery and find the leak. It can be repaired easily with a rubber hose made for transmissions and clamps.
You are kidding, you don
I think you will find it has none. Sealed for life transmission. I could be wrong as I am not 100% positive. Call your local Chevy dealer to be sure. There are 'kits' available from the major parts stores to make your own drain plug for your transmission pan. Have a qualified person pull off the pan and have them drill a hole toward the rear of the pan and install the plug. The instructions included with the kit will show the diameter of the hole that you will need to drill. I did this on my 1996 Yukon and it works well and does not leak. I can now change my transmission fluid as easily as my oil.

Yes, you can crack the transmission pan before damaging the transmission.
If it is like the 2001 model. Remove the big black skid plate thing. Six bolts I think. Then you can get to the transmission pan. Remove the pan bolts. Drop the pan. Change the filter. REmove old gasket material. Put pan back on. Tighten bolts alternating pattern. Refill fluid through the transmission stick-check hole on top of engine.
You have to remove the pan to drain the transmission.You have to remove the pan to drain the transmission.
The transmission pan is directly under the transmission of the car. Follow the transmission dipstick tube down to find the transmission.
On the backside of the oilpan, close to the transmission, there is a treaded hole. Place a bolt in the treaded hole and tighten it. As you tighten the bolt, it presses against the engine block and forses the oil pan to break its seal and come loose.
If you remove the transmission pan, it is the part bolted to the inside of the transmission.If you remove the transmission pan, it is the part bolted to the inside of the transmission.
