2001 Sportage transmission service

[reginald]

I am trying to service the trans on my 2001 sportage and cannot remove the trans sump, there is a bracket on the dipstick tube and i cannot get to the bolt which secures it to the bellhousing, has anyone had or solved this problem?

Dear reginald...is it the auto trans sump did u mean it...if in that case ihave experience removing the sump befor,,,,,,his sump was come saparate from the dipstik so u can just the drop the sump by not removing the dipstick bracket......the sump ill drop together with the bottom parts of the dipstik tube which contain "o"ring...h

hope this will help.

Thanks Hasimkay.
When I looked at this problem closer I discovered the dipstick tube is 2 pieces and you have to swivel the sump to remove it from the upper part of the tube, thanks for your input.
