I have been trying to track down a leak in my transaxle. New seal and O ring in speedo angle drive. needed that but it didn't fix the drip.So I cleaned the trans with brake clean and took it out for a drive. Gear oil seems to be coming from the front part of the gearbox where it meets the engine case and coming out the vent hole at the bottom of the bell housing case. Given all that, I'm thinking the input shaft seal is leaking. Am I on the right track? Any other usual suspect places that it could be coming from?

QUOTE(yellow75 @ Apr 20 2017, 06:40 AM)  same as a VW? Is trans removal a one man job? Easier than a VW,top starter bolt is a bitch to get at till you drop the trans down a bit before blocking the motor up. Get on to it soon before the leak ruins your clutch disk,make sure you replace the throw out lever cup bush and the sliders for your bearing. I made a wooden base for my jack and strapped the trans to it....then its a one man operation. |
