96-00 DX Tranny Question
I recently did a tranny swap from auto to 5spd. Ok everything is good, BUT i've noticed everynight i get 2-3 drops of oil on my driveway. The oil drips seems to be coming from the side of the tranny. So anyways, I recently changed my clutch and noticed there's not a plate that hides/protects the flywheel, and was wondering can oil leak out from there?? any suggestions are appreciated. Later ya'll

that sheild is a dust/rock sheild...dont worry about it to much...
if your worried about the leak, take a peek and try and trace it...sometimes the tranny drain plug isnt tightened enough...

if oil is leaking from the tranny area (WTF is the cover??) likely it is a rear main seal.
I've never had or seen a leaky tranny or rear main seal, YET!~

only if the balljoint is hard as **** to remove...... check FAO Axle Tutorial. anytime "oil" leaks from the tranny..... 90% of the time it is the axle seal

damn! now that i think of it, u may be right. I notice that the oil comes around the axle near the tranny side. How does the seal to that look like?? is it just a rubber washer??

Re: 96-00 DX Tranny Question (ek9 ferio)
it's a big circular shaped piece of rubber that goes around the hole in the transmission where you stick the axle in. you can get a new one from Honda for pocket change. just be careful not to fu** it up when you put the axle back in. i've done it before.... PM me if it gets to difficult.
