Morning all.
I threw my front drive shaft this week, the rear UJ failed and a the shaft was flailing about it seems to have given the sump of the autobox a nice little going over.

I have one question. does anybody have any first hand knowlage of what is directly behind the sump, ie the nearest componant and distance. It isnt leaking at the moment, and im wondering how much of a clouting it can take and still be operating fine inside. Dont fancy changing it or even trying to source one in this wether/time of year

never owned an auto but I'd wouldn't have thought there'd be a lot of clearence between sump and gear cogs Also oil pump pickup is going to be in there somewhere if it's not split I'd suggest dropping it (after draining oil) and beating it back into shape.

Nearest thing to bottom of sump is oil suction pipe then filter then valve block. Unless the sump is seriously indented it should be ok. Take it off and straighten it when you can, to be sure. If everything continues to function it should be ok to leave for a while. A photograph would be good.
