anyone got a pic/how-to on changing the output shaft on my damn si tranny. i found a stupid diagram on advance autoparts website but i cant make heads for tails of it.

id really appreciate it

 

Post a link to the Advance Auto diagram and maybe we can help you out. - Darrell

 

 

bump for a quick fix

 

You talking about the actual shaft that comes through the tranny... With splines that go into the block?

If im not mistaken, you need to pull the tranny apart to get the interior gears out... Maybe im wrong though.

I cant make heads or tails of that pic either... WTF am i looking at?

It almost resembles the ... wait - no it doesn't.
WTF is that?


Are you having problems opening up the tranny?
That's how you get to the shafts.

I was thinking that pic was of the snap ring that has to get opened up to take the tranny apart.
If that's what it is, it's a crappy picture and a 4 year old could draw it better.

 

well ive been told all you have to do is stick a screw driver in there and pull it out. like a cylinder looking thing. but this doesnt look like it......im lost all i know is my tranny is leaking where my cv goes in on the passanger side and i need to fix it.

 

I work at Advance and thats a stupid diagram. When we get that pic, it is a seal. So when he looked up 'output shaft' he actually pulled up a seal. They are trying to show you that its a circle towards the bottom of the engine.

Thats the pic you get when theres not an actual pic.

 

so hell......what does this damn thing look like...i dont wanna get under there and rip my axle out AGAIN for nothing....and if its leaking...how much will it leak before it ***** up?....hehe...im still driving to and from work (its only like 3-5 min)

 

bump...

I think I figured out what that is!!!!

It appears to be the seal!
The seal is a round doughnut deal.
The pic appears to be a cross-section of it so you can see what's in the seal.

The shaded area is the rubber portion of it.
The white area is the metal insert that makes it somewhat rigid.
The circle is the circle metal spring thing.

You can pry the seal out.
I have done it before - you get a screwdriver and pry against the metal insert in different points to break it free and then pry it completely out.

I don't know if you will be able to do it with the output shaft still installed... you might though??!?!
I can't remember if the seal goes in from the inside of the tranny or from the outside.

 

thanks 4dr, that actually made sense...and from another diagram i found i shoule be able to do it with the output shaft still in.....it showed teh output seal goin in from the whole...not on the inside
