My car is leaking on the tranny side and i have a feeling that it is the axle seal.. but i heard if you can move the axle around like up or down then it could be the differential. I already have some bad bearings in my tranny btw. I dont know if that helps

 

id say just source a used tranny and swap it. it only takes a few hours.

 

welll the seal is what prevents the oil from leaking. sooo i assume its the cause. buuut if the diff bearings are worn and the axle moves a bit then that could cause the seal to wear out faster

 

i would get a used tranny but i wouldn't know if that used tranny would have the same problem or anykind of problem until i put it in so i prefer a new one.

 

well when i jacked my car up, i pushed the axle up on accident because i was wiping the tranny down. i should probably check if it moves around while its on the ground huh? or would there be no difference?

 

new tranny? for a 20 yr old civic? even rebuilding the one you have would cost too much

 

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that i have a b18a1 in my crx.

 

new trans is still gonna cost too much..hell a rebuilt ls trans is like 450

 

But if i buy a used one, i never know if its gonna end up like the tranny i have now. If i get a new one, then i wont have to worry about much.

 

well a new NEW trans is gonna cost proly 2k...if you really want to then rebuild the one you have. that way you know its good i guess
