Transmission seal where axle goes in


Recommended Posts

Posted

my tranny is leaking and it looks to be around where the axle goes in the transmission on the drivers side. 90 3.1L 4spd overdrive. I can see a green seal in there is that whats bad? I know seals are cheap but is it easy to change? Just pull the axle out and remove the seal and replace or what? Thanks for help

Perhaps....not that much.....fill it when your done. If its leaking, odds are its low anyways.

I know my Manual Trans leaked when I pulled the axle. I thought it was supposed to do that to keep the socket lubed or something. Book never really said

It's definatly going to leak, actually more like piss out.

 

No axle=trans fluid. :lol:

:withstupid: my cutlass pissed out fluid when the cv axle went bad at least i caught it well before it started clicking :oops:

No, it won't piss fluid out. I did it twice, and neither time did I get a faceful of tranny fluid.

 

Just make sure you don't scrape up the metal that contacts the seal and you should be just fine.

I've pulled axles before and never had tranny fluid "piss" out. Actually, hardly anything came out at all.

it depends on the level of the fluid and the angle of the transmission. Jack the car up a little higher than you would otherwise. I've has tranny fluid vomit out more than once.

Well I feel better knowing it's supposed to do that. Mine was at a good angle on axle stands

Just jack up the side you're pulling atleast 3-4" above the other, that should keep the fluid from leaking everywhere.
