I fear transmission rebuild or replace may be a requirement down the road, just because it is certainly leaking. That's why I was so surprised at how perfect the shift points seemed, to me anyway. But I'll inspect the brackets in case one needs replacing just to get me by until I save up for getting it fixed right. I am still holding out hope that the leak is something fixable without removing it I guess. But the first order of business is to clean it up just so I can tell where it's leaking. The thing is a serious mess. I'll get some pics at some point. I was thinking of spraying some degreaser on it and heading to a car wash with a spray nozzle.

I can manually slide it forward and back to lube it without any sort of disassembly?

Never done this either, but I'll look it up. Sounds like something I could tackle once I figure it out.
