Today on the way to work, i was racing my car down the highway. Was doing fast... then i get to work 10 miles away from dubuque, and i get going down the last stretch of road and just was smoking down that road. Even got a 3rd gear scratch thats where it got real bad!!! i start to slow and i have smoke rolling from under my car, and i just coast to my parking space and pop the hood to see the damage. I look under my car, and i have a puddle and a nice trail going to that puddle. Ive had trouble wiht my drivers side seal on my tranny, so i look to see, and there is my seal blown out of its spot, and that metal ring is also blown out. I am having it towed tomarrow and thought id see your reactings. I would like to know how the hell that happened? Too much pressure or what?

I have had no luck in getting help with my tranny problem in other forums, . [IMG][/IMG] that ring on the end, anyone know if that has to be put completely against the seal, does it hold it in or something? i tried before and i couldnt get that ring to completely seat. i need some help. ive never blown the seal out, but it has been leaking for awhile!!! need help thanks

 

I'm sorry I cant help you, but why would you go faster after you sensed a problem? 2 seconds to pull over could have saved you a lot of future stress.. but I'm sure you know that...

Good luck, and as far as answering your question, these guys know everything

 

Its more of a sheild. It was most likely bent and caused damage to the seal, or the seal was not installed properly.
