who has a slight leak in there tranny.. i know i do just noticed today a lil spot on my drive wayy. its sux cause i just rebuilt my tranny 30,000 miles agoo.. Time for a New Car i guess

 

how much as the rebuild?

 

1,200 dollars i cant afford that anymore.. might have to downgrade to a honda..

 

is there any way to stop the leak.. i though maybe its not the diff bearing.. I just got my clutch replaced about 1 month ago... could it be gaskets maybe

 

i think the differential bearing is inside the transmission and therefore cant leak. its probaly just an axle seal or that sensor we use to drain our trans fluid. unless its from the guy who split the case on the rebuild and dint seal it back up properly.

 

your differential bearing can cause a leak when it goes bad. are you sure it is gear oil and not motor oil? if it is motor oil, it is possible that it can be the rear main seal. i have seen it suggested to chnage it when you have the transmission out for the clutch since you are there anyway. crawl under the car and check where the oil is coming from.

 

nope not the main seal.. Should the driver side axle move a lil bit like 2 mm up.. cause i think if the axle moves alittle it is the carrier bearing

 

had same prob. diff bearing went out and caused a seal to fail. $427 at tranny shop with installation and new inner cv boots at this price. they had to pull the transmission to do this

 

Crockpot, they fixed the differential carrier bearings AND pulled your tranny for $400 and change? Damn that's a good price.

Personally, I would never trust a shop to do a rebuild or fix the carrier bearing problem. I think you are better off getting a low miles 2000-2001 tranny.

When the differential carrier bearings are shot, there axle has a lot of free play such that the axle seal cannot hold the tranny fluid back anymore. Seemingly, our bearing failures only occur to the drivers side. If there is any free play to that axle, your bearings are going. Particularly if you move the axle around where it interfaces the tranny and you see oil leak past the seals, that is very telling. You may not see a puddle on the ground for a while because tranny oil is very thick and first tends to cover the bottom of the tranny. Once it creates a puddle, the problem needs to be addressed asap.

 

checking over my records I see it was just a differential bushing.. my bad
bushing, bearing.. same thing
