2310 Trans question

[homer8206]

I have developed a slow leak it looks like it is coming from where the brake linkage goes to the transmission. 1st question how hard is this to fix or should i just park it on cardboard? 2nd question why is the brake linked to the transmission when there is a brake cable? 2nd question is most likely stupid but i was just wondering?

Just seen this this morning.I had the same problem with mine.The reason it's leaking there is that there's a o-ring inside the housing thats letting oil leak past the shaft.Too fix it you have to split the rear diff,pull out the brake disc's then the shaft and change the o-ring.It has to be done from the inside out.I did mine as I was getting tired of oil leaking all the time plus with the hydro fan turning all the time it was blowing oil all over the everything.Yeah its a big job for sure.As for your other question I'am not sure what your asking.Larry
