juicedlumina Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89SupremeCutty Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 no, it shouldn't but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Perhaps....not that much.....fill it when your done. If its leaking, odds are its low anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggar Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 It's definatly going to leak, actually more like piss out. Â No axle=trans fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 :withstupid: my cutlass pissed out fluid when the cv axle went bad at least i caught it well before it started clicking :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 No, it won't piss fluid out. I did it twice, and neither time did I get a faceful of tranny fluid. Â Just make sure you don't scrape up the metal that contacts the seal and you should be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I've pulled axles before and never had tranny fluid "piss" out. Actually, hardly anything came out at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey b Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggar Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well I feel better knowing it's supposed to do that. Mine was at a good angle on axle stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddflash Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Just jack up the side you're pulling atleast 3-4" above the other, that should keep the fluid from leaking everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
