my friend has a b16 in his crx (lopezboard)... there is a steady stream of gear oil coming out of the half circle flywheel cover on the bottom of the tranny. he didn't bottom out to break anything, and he wasn't driving hard. it just started leaking. has anyone had this problem before? does anyone know what it is or how to fix it? thanks

about how much do you think that would cost? is it easy to fix? what does it look like? any info on this would be appreciated... ill search too

 

Yea its me, my tranny is gushin out gear oil, and the steady stream was not coming from my intermidiate shaft. Its such an odd place for the oil to be coming out of, its basically on the very bottom of the tranny closets to the block where the flywheel cover plate thing is. Anyone wiht any ideas?? should i jsut get a new tranny?

 

i've had this happen to a customer/friend

throw out bearing blew up at the track, a piece of it became a projectile, and pierced a hole in the transmission casing right behind the flywheel

lets hope you don't have the same problem

luckily i was able to save the transmission, just welded the hole

 

holy crap that sounds nasty, but i wasn't even driving it hard, i didn't even get to run at the track today because of it..........

 

do you know if it is trannt oil or engine oil. you might have a blown rear mail seal also. since you did say it is coming from the inspection plate on the bottom of the tranny.

 

problem found..... I took my tranny off, and inside the bell housing was pretty well covered in oil thick oil. And i found an inch crack in it, right above the shift linkage. I guess my differential got messed up.

 

sorry to steal threads... but what is the rear mail seal.. sounds like thats what's happening to my girls civic...

thanks
