I have a first gen b16 and i notice im leaking fluid for the sensor that is close to the clutch arm on the tranny. is this common and how do i fix it? should there be a washer or gasket or something between the bolt and the whole?

 

any ideas?

 

any help?

 

Sounds like the reverse sensor for the backup lights.

Drain the trans fluid, take sensor off, use teflon tape on the sensor. Install sensor and install fluid

 

so there is not washer that im missing? i can see a while thing (seal?) that is seated inside the houseing. im just surprised something wouldn't cover it up completely.

 

i know the d series transmissions have a washer and the service manualy says to replace it everytime it is removed, so i'm guessing it's just some sort of crush gasket or somthing. i'm not sure about the b series though.

 

anybody else know anything about this crush washer for a first gen b16? does it exist? part no.?

 

Yes, it's a crush washer, much like you find on your oil pan drain bolt.

I'd have to say replace the crush washer and use teflon tape.

 

i dont think i have the washer. thats prolly my problem

 

not to sound like a dumbass but is it the same part as a crush washer for a b16? ive never replace my oil pan washer so maybe i'll pic up a few if they're all the same part. any ideas if they are the same and what the part no are?

 

yeah it should be...another honda standard
