Default Tranny messed up? :(

Was just driving home from our car club meeting and i went to shift and it wouldnt go in gear. Pulled over and turned the car off, started it and it went into gear but the clutch is slipping BAD. Got home and looked under and its dripping what i believe is tranny fluid by the flywheel. Just put a brand new clutch in. Its a DOHC ZC with an Si tranny. Please help

Its dripping from where the flywheel cover would be if i had one. Hoping it may be the input shaft seal? idk

How in the world did you manage to mount the tranny to the engine

You wrote "tranny fluid" in your first post.
What exactly did you put in your transmission?

Either way, slipping is clutch so you are dropping the trans again to see what's up.
Could be your seal like you said.
No way to tell from your pic.

Syncromesh. Tranny still goes in gears (went in 1st-5th fine on my way home) so the tranny didn't go out. Has to be a seal unless somehow i knocked a hole in the tranny casing.

I'm aware that the tranny mates up. Just thought you would need the bell housing from keeping the tranny from tweaking

Its got all the bolts on the bell housing that were on it when i got it stock (D15 with 4 speed). It just doesn't have the flywheel cover.

Ya, i always thought it was weird that the flywheel was just exposed like that too.

I'm pretty sure i figured out what happened. At first before i changed my clutch i was hearing noise that i thought was the throw-out bearing, so i replaced it when i did my clutch. Wasn't that though, what i believe it was is the input shaft bearing and it took a sh*t last night. Thus messing up the seal and causing the leak. My homie that is a mechanic at a local honda shop is coming to look at it later today and see what he thinks. Was talking to him earlier and we both are leaning toward the seal as the source of the leak. Gonna pull the tranny asap.
