How do you replace a broken transmission tube?
It turns out the seal got shifted when I had inserted the tube and wasn’t actually sealing at all. I had to remove the tube, put the seal back inside the hole in transmission, reinsert the tube, and tighten down the bolt to anchor the tube to the transmission before bolting the top of the tube to the cylinder head.
Where is the leak in the transmission shaft?
Photo # 1 shows the yoke plug. Our inspection discovered the plug that seals the end of the yoke had a small rust hole from the inside out. As the fluid traveled down the output shaft and yoke splines it leaked through the holes in this plug.
How did I get too much fluid in my transmission?
I finally filled the transmission with six quarts of fluid. While adding the seventh quart (which was clearly too much), it started pouring out of the dipstick tube at the transmission and all over the floor of my garage. It turns out the seal got shifted when I had inserted the tube and wasn’t actually sealing at all.
How do you check the transmission oil and fluid?
Transmission Oil/Fluid Check. Transmission oil/fluid must be checked with the engine off and the car on level ground. If the engine has been running, some engine components may be hot enough to burn you. Keep hands away from the radiator fan.
What should I do if my transmission fluid is leaking?
Lift the front of your car with jack stands and secure them into place. Remove the front tire where the axle seal is leaking. Remove the tie rod. Remove the nut which secures the axle shaft. Remove the nuts and bolts holding the wheel hub to the strut assembly. Using a pry bar, pull the inner axle free.
That gasket can eventually wear out, resulting in a fluid leak. Output shaft seal leaks are a common problem. On vehicles that have a rear-wheel drive bias layout, the output shaft seal is at the rear of the transmission extension housing. The seal prevents fluid from leaking out between the transmission and the driveshaft.
Where is the seal on a transmission pump?
The seal, which is usually located in the transmission pump, fits over the snout of the torque converter. Although not as common as some other issues, it’s possible for a fluid leak to develop from a cracked or porous transmission housing. When the housing is damaged, the fix is usually to replace (rather than rebuild) the transmission.
How much fluid does a Honda transmission take?
