Thanks. I probablly have the skills to pull the transmission off, but is the seperation of the transmission/differential and replacing these seals a reasonable task for a motivated amateur? Are there any particular write ups beyond my Haynes manual that you can recommend that detail the process for ...

But inspection reveals that the leak is coming from where the left front driveaxle fits into the differential. It started when I noticed small puddles of what looked like an oil/tranny fluid mix.

If it is in fact a faulty CPSV, does anyone know if is it OK to drive around for a few days with...

oops - just found the relevant section in the manual which tells me how to check for proper voltage/resistance/vacumm, etc at the purge control. I'll post an update later, but would always appreciate sage advice in the meanwhile, especially the sort of advice regarding how much this thing will cost ...

Thanks Splinter. I reset the ECU/TCU and all of the codes but one disappeared. It looks like the "canister purge solenoid valve" is the cuplrit (There aren't and have never been any TCU codes) I have no idea what this item is, but it gives me a direction to start in. In your experience can...

The other day I had to really slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. After this, the transmission wouldnt re-engage until I put it in reverse, and ...
