Transmission Pan Gasket

[mrmora]

So I have a leaky transmission pan gasket on my 1991 Subaru Legacy L... I noticed that the CC partially goes over the right side of the pan, do I need undo the CC to take off the pan. The right corner seems kind of hard to get to when a wrench, would a screw driver allow me to take off that bolt? I would love some advice as I need ot get this fixed!

Welcome to the BBS.

What is the CC?

Can you get a ratcheting wrench in there? I've found them to be pretty darn helpful in tight places.

Thank you for the welcome. I checked out the thread, but I was more looking towards the removal of the pan. I actually got all the other bolts off with a ratcheting wrench, very helpful. But when it came to that right corner (passenger side)... I couldn't get it the wrench up there. The "CC" is the Catalytic Converter, well I believe it is lol. The trans pan bolt is snugged up against the other thing, making the wrench sockets unable to get the bolt off. I was wondering if I tried using a ratcheting screwdriver, would that take care of the job? Thanks again for the reply.

On my FWD, I got that no problem using 1/4" screw-driver with 10mm socket.

If that doesn't work for your layout, use a universal joint. 3/8" 10mm won't get in there, but 1/4" will.
