SIght Glass

[GregH]

I have a L4310 GST and the tranny sight glass is oozing fluid. Does anyone know how to tighten, replace, etc. this situation. Any help would be appreciated. You can push on the sight glass and it "gives" a little"
THanks in advance

Park the machine facing down hill or jack and support the back till you no longer see fluid in the gauge. Gently pry out with screwdriver or something suitable. Clean off the sealing surfaces, coat with black RTV/Permatex (why black? It dries quicker) and press back in, gently use a piece of wood or soft mallet if persuasion is required. Let dry and you should be on your way as long as the sight glass is'nt cracked.

AS USUAL: kubmech says it all.

AS usual, someone steps up and comes thru in a pinch. Kubmech I appreciate the info. I was afraid it was somehow a major issue.
Thanks again
