I noticed when I stopped my car after driving for a while a rather large cloud of smoke billowing out. After looking my engine over & not spotting the problem. I noticed above my transaxles where they mount to the tranny a good solid line of oil/grease. I remember when I put my engine in the car that I was missing the gaskets that went between the transaxle & the tranny. I wanted to take it for a drive so I thought I'll get them later. Well I haven't driven much luckily. I forgot about it so the smoke was a good thing. My question is which gasket do I get? Is this one from pelican the right one? http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...amp;itemquant=1 Would a local shop carry it? Thanks -Jamie

Bryan is correct. Those seals are in the transmission, and you cannot run without them since they would spew copious amounts of gear oil.
The CV joint gasket is here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca..._SUSaxl_pg1.htm CV joint grease will be thrown out if they are missing, that is not a good thing either. Without grease the CV joint will go bad quickly; you know they are no longer available? There are substitutes now, but don't destroy a joint through neglect! The gasket is not a VW part. CV joint grease would not likely cause the smoke you see. Keep looking. |
