Well its been leaking for well over 2 months now i dont here any whine but my tranny is leaking from the driver side axel i went to my mechanic he said I can drive it like this for the life of the car and it will stop the leaking when it reaches a certain point is this true? Should I get this fixed for $550 ?

 

get it fixed now.of course it will stop leaking once it levels off with the differential seals, then all your whole gear sets will be unlubed

 

is it safe to drive like this for another 5k miles? I want to change the flywheel at one time..

 

bump................

 

No you can't drive the car like that forever without major problems. As the bearings wear down the metal is going into your tranny. If it gets to the point of complete bearing failure it can totally ruin your tranny.

 

**** how long do you think i have ?? This is my everyday car i need it for 50-70miles everyday. You think I have another 2 weeks so i can order my fidanza flywheel?

 

You can drive it that way for a long time, as long as you top off the trans oil level regularly. Not that hard to do.

 

Yhea, I am sure a few weeks would not be a problem. Even a few months would probably be OK. I just said you can't dirve like that indefinatelyn w/o major problems. The leak will get worse and worse, at one point I was leaking a quart every 200 miles or so. I drove a almost a year from the first time I saw the leak. Just keep the fluid full.

 

where do i fill up the fluid? what fluid do I buy?

 

bump/....................

 

GL-4 (NOT gl-5) theres a large fill screw in front of the tranny near/under the battery that you use a 1/2" ratchet to unscrew, pour fluid in until fluid starts to overspill.

 

heppen to have any pictures do i find this looking under the car?

 

Hey guys, I just had 2 differential bearings replaced along with 2 seals, and also a speedometer sensor. They charged me $750 (Canadian dollars). Did I overpay?

 

nope i paid $510 for just dif bearing and another small gear seal.
