Just replaced the Radiator in my 05 XLR with the same problem! Good News! I did not have to remove the AC condenser!! I chased this problem around for about a month. I could have saved a bunch of headaches if I would have bought a radiator pressure tester first!! Harbor Freight has one for...

Convertable Top fixed --- Finally If you are having intermittent top raising issues try checking the small pigtail cable that attaches between the vehicle harness and the position sensor on the front tonneau that is centered behind the seat bulkhead. I hard wired mine (with Soldered Connections...

Transmission fluid leak finally stopped! The transmission leak stopped leaking after about 3 weeks of the drip. Couldn't find any traces of where it was coming from using the borescope. I think it was the vent at the top but could not verify. I think that the XLR was tilted slightly forward...

Thanks Stella Good answer - Looks like I need to get it up on a rack - I just purchased a Android Borescope to help. I will let the forum know what I find. Probably next week unless it stops leaking.

Transmission Vent location??? Thanks for the info. I watched the mechanic refill the transmission after the pan was replaced (we also replaced the filter and cleaned the bottom of the pan magnet). He filled the transmission until it spilled out of the transmission then started the car and...

Transmission Vent Tube That is one of my thoughts. Do you know where the vent tube is located? Can anyone provide a picture or drawing of its location.

Replacement Pan Gasket. Thanks for your reply. Replacement - Pan gasket not leaking. Lessons learned a long time ago. Check the obvious first. The seep is coming from somewhere in the front can't see anything up there. Its either the drive shaft seal or ???

Just bought a 2005 XLR and it started Dripping transmission fluid after the shift lever seal was replaced. The seal is intact. The leak is occurring on the front of the transmission and we thought that it was the pan gasket which was replaced and refilled and it still leaks. Seems like the leak...

Dropping the fuel tanks. I would absolutely try using the fuel cleaners first. Dropping the tanks is mess. You don't need to drop the transaxle to remove the tanks. I had to remove mine because the crossover coupling was leaking at the quick disconnect. You may even want to try acetone as a...

Dropping the Gas tanks. Had a leak repaired on the Passenger side crossover pipe, we replaced the crossover pipe and the associated tubes that went into the tank. My mechanic was able to drop the tanks without dropping the transaxle. He removed the rear tires , the associated inner fender...
