tranny seal??
 

is there a seal where the pass. side axle goes in to the tranny? after process of elimination and a lot of head scratching i found out that a)my hg is not blown b)my rings and ringlands are fine c)my turbo is fine d)my tranny is leaking oil what looks to be around teh pass. side axle and kicking it up on to my firewall and it's dripping on to my dp. this would explain why my oil level never went down :P

Re:tranny seal??
 

yes there is.

Re:tranny seal??
 

is it on the tranny or the axle? how can i replace it, i'm pretty sure that's my problem.

Re:tranny seal??
 

its in the trans, you need to pull the axle

Re:tranny seal??
 

then what, the seal pops right out?

Re:tranny seal??
 

you need to kinda pry it out....never taken out an axle and looked in there?

Re:tranny seal??
 

i'm checking ht right now, go figure there's about 300 threads on it, now i went and made myself look like a newb by not searching first ::)

Re:tranny seal??
 

if it is leaking from seam of where the tranny meets the block, it could be either the main seal, or the oil gallery plug. both are a bitch to work on. the gallery plug may cost about $5 to fix, but the main seal would cost more to replace. both would require you to remove the tranny, clutch & flywheel. i'll post more info if you need it.

Re:tranny seal??
 

na, it's coming out of the pass side axle, but yeah, that would suck if it was the main tranny seal, seeing as how i just pulled the tranny two weeks ago, i would prolly shoot something if i had to do it again :P this is prolly when the axle seal got fucked up, i had a hard time getting the pass. axle out.

Re:tranny seal??
 

and don't forget to drain the tranny b4 u pull the axle ;)

Re:tranny seal??
 

i'll try and keep that in mind ;)

Re:tranny seal??
 

lol, its not a main tranny seal, the seal dave was talking about is in the motor (around the crank)

Re:tranny seal??
 

yeah, she's gonna be pisse i have to work on my car again :P

Re:tranny seal??
 

I just did mine a few months ago. Weird oil spot on the tranny leaking from nowhere in particular. ???

The seal's are about $8 each from Honda. You have to pry it out and it's kind of weird getting them back in since it doesn't seem like they back up to anything. So be careful when you press them back in. And the "sealant" in the middle of the new seal is a weird line of grease so don't touch it. :P

Re:tranny seal??
 

nice, i was wonderin about how much they were. so just push it in til it's flush with the tranny? did you add any extra greese to get it in?

Re:tranny seal??
 

They're a little tight, but they should push right in.

Just be wary of pushing them too far or too hard. You can straighten them out once you get it in, but it's hard to describe until you actually try it. It's not like you push until they stop, ya know?

But yeah, flush. ;)

Re:tranny seal??
 

there is a stop...push it in all the way, it should be just past flush if i remember right. You want to push it in there flush with a big socket or block of wood or something, but be careful since they can get fucked up. This is just from my experience, so take it with a grain of salt

Re:tranny seal??
 

Ehhh. Maybe I'm mistaken, it's been awhile. I just put my new ones in like the old ones were. :-X

Re:tranny seal??
 

is that only with usdm b16's? ive never had to do this with ANY of the cars i worked on except my friends singlecam... i change my axel's all the time cuz lowered cars kill them fast. life time warrenty at autozone baby :) life time core swap.

Re:tranny seal??
 

i never use to have to drain it on my teg w/cable tranny either, nobody believed me :P

Re:tranny seal??
 

ive never really drained the tranny when changing axles, i would just jack up one side to the oil in the tranny would go to the opposite side of the tranny

Re:tranny seal??
 

you change the axles all the time but how often to you change the fluid?...must be low if nothing comes out when you pull an axle
