Ok so I went to cottmans today for them to point out were my tranny is leaking at. SO they get it up on the lift and a few mins later tell me to come into the shop. They say its from my driver side axle, and its the seal, and possibly a bearing too because it has a tiny bit of play. And they say 350 PLUS parts to fix it. I say "ummm yeah sure i want it fixed, just not today, can you fill my tranny up while im here?" But I really had no intentions at all of having them fix it.

So the motor is a b16 in my 90 hatch. And the tranny...well im not sure what tranny it is, the sticker is missing from it. Im guessing its a y1, no lsd. What axle seal should I get? And how hard is it to fix? Just pop out the axle, pop the seal with a screw driver, and tap the new seal in until its flush, right? I did my best with the search but only got a few results with little feed back. Thanks guys!

 

$350.00?? hell no do it yourself. The seal is like 7 bucks or so. simple as removing axle, pull out old seal with a pick tool. If you don't have a seal driver or anything close to the diameter of the seal just put it in place and use the axle to "tap" it into place. I used a 90 Integra seal for my YS1

 

yeam man thats what im saying. I almost laughed when they said 350. i just took it to them to pin point were the leak it and to get a free tranny fill

 

yea do wut apex did, i did the same exact thing. my **** was leaking like crazy and now its all good

 

My seal was leaking driver side because the barring wore out and the axle got lose and the seal wore and the trans leaked I inspected it and it is the baring for sure I took the trans apart and took a look and bearings and the bearings are chunky. don't get to happy yet make sure it's just the seal. Before you race or drive to far.
