tomorrow im taking out my passenger side axle for replacement. when i take the axle out is the transmission fluid going to leak out? thanks.

 

Yeah it should leak if your fluid level is right and not low so have a bucket ready.

 

thanks for the reply.

 

it shouldnt leak that much....last time i replaced an axle no fluid came out and my trans level was fine

 

really if u hadnt change it in awhile just change it out. 2.5 qts of oem mtf or some syncromesh. cause i have an itr tranny i change it every other oil change. just because im paranoid haha.

 

i just found out that GM syncromesh is discontinued

well i hope penzoil still makes them. parts number are the same just without the friction mod

 

really easy to change, i'd say change it anyway

Friction Modified is where it's at, though.

Luckily I bought the last 6 quarts the local Chevy dealer had in stock. I went 50K miles on my last fill of SM FM, and it still looked good when I drained it out, so these 6 quarts should last me another 75K-100K miles.

Your fluid level was way low then. Unless you jacked up the front right side of the car only. We did that on a friend's Civic one time and were able to keep the fluid from coming out while changing the axle.
