try changing the seal...

 

how do i change the seal? anyone have any pics that could help me with this?

 

bump for more help

 

Well, you did the tranny right? When you removed the half shaft, you should have seen the seal in the transmission that the half shaft went into.

Thats the one you probably need to replace.

The seal pops right out of the transmission. Get a new one from Honda, and put it back in flush to the case.

 

ok thanks, i found the seal but it is a PITA to get out

O I know. I hate doing that. I got my seal from Honda and it's not too hard to put in. Relatively cheap, I think I paid less than $5 for the seal. It took longer to clean up the underside of the car though from all of the oil.

yea i know.....i leaked so much onto my garage floor, my dad is gonna get fired up...lol o well my car runs and shifts properly. its worth the lecture

 

Just get some kitty litter for a couple bucks and hook up the mess. While your at it., sweep and clean up everything else. Long as you look like you care about the mess that was made, pops should be cool with you

Least if my kid did that, id be ok long as he went the extra mile.

 

well i do clean everything its just the oil stain my dad cant stand...lol he hates my hobby but he doesnt seem to complain when i do his routine maintence on his car.....but anyways i still cant get that seal off....i might just take it to a shop cuz right now im gettin a headache lol

 

just stick a screwdriver in there and pop it out. It really isn't hard at all. Are you sure you are working on the right seal?

 

Yea, it shoudl just be a rubber seal in the transmission....


Are you trying to take the half shaft apart or something?

 

ALright, ill try to take it off tomorrow morning.

 

i have an ls/vtec its leaking from the back i dont know the problem . i change the head gasket once because it was leaking from the the timming belt area now the leak its from the back help please
