94 ranger 4.0 OHV 5 speed manual 4x4. 119.5k
My name is dakota. I'm a brand new member to the forum, and have a quick question.
vehicle is a 94 ranger 4.0 OHV 5 speed manual 4x4. 119,500 miles. I am attaching a photo for reference.
I've got a somewhat new leak I have discovered recently. Has anyone else experienced the tranny fluid leak in this location? Mine is fairly minor. Did you take care of it or just monitor it? I believe this is a non gasket spot, and it just takes a bead of rtv silicone as a sealant. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome to the forum
Can't see a picture but you have an M5OD-R1 transmission
M5OD-R1 had only one common leak point, well 3 but in the same area, lol.
On the rear of the top cover are 3 rubber plugs, these would get hard over time and then leak, fluid level is lower than the plugs but splashed fluid would leak out
Can be seen here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/drivet...ission-123480/
The M5OD-R1 uses ATF, yes, automatic transmission fluid in a manual transmission
Ford Mercon or similar

can I reach up over the end of the tranny and replace those plugs?

I will take out the new shift repair kit, that I installed, and pull back the carpet from the inside to access these plugs. I found a couple YouTube videos showing that they are easily accessible from up top. Fortunately.
