i swapped motors in my gfs 93. b4 the trans was fine, now when i put trans fluid in it pours out where the drivers side axle goes in i replaced the axle seal but it still does it as much as it did b4. what did i mess up?

One or both has happened..

The axle is not in all the way, or the seal was damaged during the axle installation.

you could of pinched the seal

or the axle had sand on it, check it again

what grenny said

Matt93SE

iTrader: (44)

What they both said.

mesterz28

i dont mean to doubt what your saying but its practically pouring out like a really heavy stream. so there isnt anything in the trans that may have broke that would make it do this? so you wouldnt think that it would be very expensive to have a shop do it?

mesterz28

i guess the seal is really delicate huh?

Greeny

iTrader: (43)

I can fix it for less then a shop would charge you.


Yep, they can be.. one question though, did you get new seal from nissan, or did you get the autozone/advanced auto seal? If you didn't get the oem nissan seal, there is a good possibility that it is the problem.

burhan92SE

did u even look at ur oil pan seal if it is not leaking from dere? and second is wat greeny said.....

mesterz28

yeah i got it from nissan hey greeny if you can do it i might have to take you up on that offer

if the seal is not installed correctly (flush with the case) it will leak.

Greeny

iTrader: (43)

just shoot me a pm if you want me to take a look at it.

mesterz28

it's not hard... it can just be annoying. i had to install a passenger side seal on-car this past thursday in a parking lot.... ypipe gets in the way of tapping it in directly, so i put a bunch of extensions together and used the side of my hand to hold the thing still while i tapped it in in various spots around the outer ring of the seal with those extensions, and a hammer. took maybe 5 minutes of tapping around the edge and (blindly) feeling for flushness.

block of wood will make it flush and keep it from goint too deep.

m/t passenger seal has something in the way to where that wouldn't work as well as it would on the a/t tho. but even so it still might work.

mesterz28

well ima try to take a look at it again today to see if its in all the way and hopefully i wont need to buy another $16 seal ill post any updates thanks guys

If I had to buy another $16 seal I'd just sell the car.

did internetautomar hijack your .org account? that sounds like something he'd say......

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

Don't poke fun, I just ordered a battery for the I30!
and on friday I bypassed the PS cooler.
Of course this is all being done because I am trading it for a 2k malibu with 56k on it. which will promptly be sold, most probably for a honda civic.

CapedCadaver

iTrader: (8)

why did you bypass the trans cooler? cuz it's winter? or was it leaking? also.... i thought your brother had dibs on the I30?

and a civic? BAN!

Transmission leak thread guys, take it to aim..

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

:-p

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

he did, but it's going to my parents.
I miss typed, it was the PS cooler I bypassed not the Trans. I would not bypass a trans cooler.

Im not doubting you or anything but...
Confirm you have the CORRECT seal?

I can never stress enough to these auto parts guys about how specific my parts are...

i will admit to getting those seals from advance auto... i've only ever had trouble getting the right seal once... that was for the driver axle on my VE5 tranny. they tried to give me one for a RS5F50A instead of a V... i figured it out by looking at the screen and saw the trans code, and then they put the right seal on order. that mother is HUGE too... easy to install tho... lots of area to hit without risk of messing up the seal

but if it's for a VE tranny-specific part, i always say 93. cuz some 4th gens were made in 1994... so they might mix it up. i have alot to remember on my car... lots of year-specific items (brakes calipers f/r, rotors f/r, timing belt, injectors, axles/seals...)

Having a tranny prob what i seen here didnt really help but instead of making a new thread ill continue on this one since it isnt long but Yesterday i went to get in my car and tried to back out the drive way and yeah... umm i had zero tranny fluid the car was just sittin there on a slite slant front end down and all the fluid was on tha ground so i went under to take a look, cleaned it off to see that its coming out in two places and burning off my ypipe so i get a lot of smoke and it smells bad lol but yeah here are a few pix of the spots

If that is an a/t which it looks like then it could be from the torque converter or running from the axle seals. Just my experience from my 02 and tranny leak. But if its just from there then think about. What in that bell housing has tranny fluid? Aw that suck if the seal on the shaft is going.

Hectic

iTrader: (20)

Time for a 5sp swap

Infam0usMax

lol man this is stupid... is there anyway for me to seal that up for the time being? and @ hectic no for one thing i dont know how to drive a 5sp and two i dont have the time for that... i like that pic tho a lil 3rd gen love... lol

BenStoked

iTrader: (7)

some putty epoxy, or something
it's time to learn to actually drive, and do the swap

DanNY

iTrader: (14)

your torque convertor seal is done.
the tranny needs to come down no way getting around it.

Matt93SE

iTrader: (44)

the only way to seal it up is like Danno said.. gotta pull the tranny and fix it. well, unless you're a gyno and can to an automotive hysterectomy through the hole in the bellhousing from removing the starter.

Hah I didn't know how to drive stick. So I went out and bought a VE5spd. Guess I jumped in both feet first. Gotta learn sometime.

Infam0usMax

lol DAMN MAN! well i guess ill patch it up a lil for now to slow the leak and get anotha or try to repair this one and for the guy that said its time to learn how to drive lol no time for it i have a 5month old i dont have time to waste one of these day tho... one of these days but im thinking about a 4th-5th gen stick...so maybe or ill get that one auto and flip this one to stick not sure but if i do tha org will know.... thanks again my peeps

bigmax90

word..what they said..if the seal is cocked or pressure on a side ..your going to leak..or face the satnky smell of 80w-90...went through it

I've got a 93 GXE 4spe auto; just got the car a few weeks ago for my son. 1st - the fluid was very dark when i got the car. Sooo, I changed the fluid and used Schaeffer full synthetic. The next day I discovered the CV boots were ripped in half... I replaced both axles and lost most of my new tranny fluid (why didn't I check those first?). I put in the new axles and topped off the tranny with more fluid. Next thing I start smelling this aweful smell like a skunk. I have cleaned the motor up and under three times. There are no spills, leaks or anything that I can find. Next I discover there is an overflow vent coming out of the top pan on the tranny. I double checked the fluid level. Still have this horrible smell. I drove the car about 300 miles and everything is shifting fine just a terrible skunk smell. I got worried....change the fluid again with Valvoline Dex/Merc III. Smell is better but still there. Did I say the car didn't smell before I changed the fluid?

Next, I start looking at running the tranny diagnostic spelled out in my Hanes Manual. Can't get the diagnotic to run, the O/D OFF light doesn't come on for 2 seconds like it is supposed to when you start the car. NEED HELP!! Does anybody have info. on this topic. I don't know what to try next shy of taking it somewhere and having my shirt ripped off.

Infam0usMax

Is this what needs to be replaced? I have someone that will do it for free I just need to know what parts...
