Transmission harness sleeve
 

It looks like the harness sleeve on my '07 Tranny starts leaking, and that by 40k mls.
I've read a lot about how it’s done, but has anyone here actually done it?
My concern would be on how to reach that sleeve to pull it out, there is not much room.
Do you have to remove the transmission mount?




Thanks
Dirk

I finally changed the sleeve and everything went well.

Took me around 3 1/2 hr on a lift, but spend most time trying to loosen the fill screw and inserting the new sleeve.
I had to unbold the rear tranny mount to get access.

Changing the pan and filling the tranny with oil was easy, pulling the old sleeve was a breeze.
First it looked like the new sleeve won’t go in, but pushing it real hard did the trick.
Out of the 7 Liter ZF fluid I was only able to put in 6 ½ Liter until a steady stream of fluid came out of the filler hole at 104 F.
The tranny shifts even better than before.
