RV Particulars: Winnebago Vectra 32'
DRIVELINE: Ford 460 and ford trans
MILES: approx 40,000
YEAR: 95/96
BREAKDOWN PARTICULARS: after driving approx 200 miles fm home, stopped for fuel on the Maine tpk, and saw a large puddle of pink fluid on the ground under the unit.. trans fluid.. large puddle leaking from somewhere around the bellhousing...
SYMPTOMS: leaking trans fluid at gas stop..
EFFECT: Unknown - i called a wrecker and got towed back home (to my dealer) $900 paid for by dealer - unit was used and still under 30 day warranty)
CAUSE: well, the dealer pulled the tranny and sent it to a transmission shop, and they could find nothing wrong... all speculated the wrong type of trans fluid had been added at the last transmission service - this tranny is apparently fussy about the specific type of trans fluid you put in.. (sorry i dont remember the particulars)
OUTCOME: sold the rv at wholesale - i was souered on the whole rv thing and stayed away until this past november when i bought a new winne journey... with extended warranty..
