change it
damdog05 (quote) also, where the transmission mount is, there is a gold bolt like thing coming from under the brace. that bolt like thing is sticking down about half an inch, should it be?
I was gonna start a thread on just this question. That "bolt" looking thing is NOT turnable. Last week I replaced my tranny mount (cost me $24, list $48). I saw that the bolt is just a 'guide pin', so the rubber won't move too much to one side or the other. It was welded in place at the top (in the threaded nut) after it was installed at the factory. I will say that if yours is down 1/2" or more, the rubber suports are worn out, so change the mount. My car has another rubber piece that acts as a 'safety support' in the event that the trans mount wears out and lets the trans sag too low. Mine was not touching that rubber, but almost. My car had a just a bit of engine vibration, that I could feel sometimes. Now I don't feel any vibration at all. I took a 5 hr drive in the mtns last Sat. and it was totally smooth. So I'd suggest changing the trans mount to everyone that hasn't done so.

about the leak. my room mate and i prolly have the tools and combined knowledge to drop the tranny and change the gasket but we live in an apartment complex so it would be done in a parking lot. i have 2 options. 1.try and do it in the parking lot or 2. my room mate works for kauffman tire and i would be able to use his discount at a store and have it done professionally. what is the difficulty level in doing this job? id need the car done in a few days. i cant afford to have it out of commision for more than that

The oil could be either engine oil coming from the rear main seal (crank seal), or the front trns seal.
You need to determine which it is. Engine oil, or gear oil. Rear main seal is a hellofa job to do. Tranyy seal is a 'pull the trans' job. Not as difficult, but still a bunch of work. Hopefully you'll have a friend that's removed a tranny help you the first time.
