Still going through my lower mileage (76K) 2004 Crossfire I picked up this winter. The prior owner changed the transmission fluid and the filter but did not change the Transmission Electrical Connector. Looks to be slightly leaking. Can I change out that connector without having to drain the fluid?

 

I have read in the past that if you jack the car up on right side only, you will only loose a minimum amount. James

 

Yes, I just replaced that connector many times with my recent unrelated to the connector transmission issue.

Short procedure:
1) remove the shield
2) twist the lock to unlock the connector.
3) use a socket to loosen the bolt on the inside
4) pull out the connector.
5) use a good connector and make sure all the molding is clean and no left over plastic (buy one from FCP Euro not amazon)



7) make sure you have two O-rings, and replace. This will take some pressure to push in place, the locking tab must be down
8) tighten internal bolt
9) install connector and lock
10) reinstall heat shield

 

Agree I bought my first one from amazon it started leaking within a year.
