I have a 2011 Cadillac CTS4 with about 75000 miles on it. Took it in today to have a fluid change done on the transfer case. The Cadillac dealership did the 100000 mile check up also. The let me know that there is some leakage of greese around something called the transaxle.
I had the transmission fluid replaced about ago at the other Cadillac dealership in town and they didn’t see anything then so my guess is this just started. The dealership priced full transaxle replacement at $780.
My questions are exactly what is this part, what does it do and is it something a regular mechanic could handle fixing or is it something the Cadillac dealership must do?
