Leaking Transmission

Have a Dauntless V6 with a T-14 in my CJ2A. Tranny has a leak that I am unable to repair right now. Has any one found a way to monitor gear oil levels and /or refill the tranny without removing the skid plate?

Depending on how you drive/use your jeep, you could just leave the skid plate off until you are able to repair the leak. If you do skid plate worthy activities on a regular basis, there is the option to remove the top tunnel access panel. More bolts, but at least you aren't crawling underneath. I have the same drivetrain, only in a 68 CJ5, so I am not sure how your tunnel panels are set up or if the access is better from above?

Be careful though, twas fixing a transmission leak that led to this...

 

I just remove plug . stick finger in hole to check level . and if low add oil with one of these pumps
never had to remove skid plate unless the whole thing was coming out

I personally hate those damn pumps. Very little flow per stroke and hard to press normally it crushes the bottle as you pump lol IMHO
