i raised my car the other day on one of those big car jacks..and i walked under my car and notice that there was oil everywhere...it was coming from the oil pan and it was all over my shift linkage...it looked like wherever it was comin from..it's sprayin all over...my friend said just replace the oil pan gasket to see if that was the problem....but then again..i think oil was comin out of the tranny too...so i dunno wha to do..how can i fix this problem..thanx in advance

 

Sounds like your axle seals.

 

i agree ef....

 

axle seals..is that why i see oil coming out from the tranny or oil pan?

 

Wipe down/powerwash the underside so the oil is gone......go for a quick spin....jack up the car and look at where the axles enter the trans.....if the oil is dripping from either or both seals replace them. If not then it could also be oil pan, rear main, or leaky drain plugs.

 

What color is the oil?

 

the oil looks blackish..it doesn't look like any other color...

 

cause MTF is usually a reddish color, when was the last time it was replaced?

 

MTF?

I thought all EFs and CRXs used motor oil.

You use motor oil in your tranny?

 

Yeah, Hf, Dx and Si transmissions call for usage of 10w30, using MTF won't allow proper lubrication and slowly destroy the transmission.

Why does Honda sell MTF then? That's what I'm using in my y1 LSD trans, Autolink Motorworks recommended that I use it...

I use oil in my tranny.

MTF is oil, It just has additives that the oil lacks of. You can use motor oil.

Don't get me wrong, I would still use MTF but you can use oil.

 

...every time I go to pick up some Honda MTF, repairs always seem to involve me drainig my tranny , the parts guy always says, "Just use Castrol 5W30 it's the same thing as Honda MTF." I still by the Honda MTF just to be safe...rarely does this guy have a clue when I come in to get something other than MTF. He always wants me to point it out on his computer, even simple stuff

I have a helms manual thats tells me 10w30

and an old Crx 88 Si Honda manual thats tells me 10w30.
