Full Version: transmission poured out all the gear oil

I was pulling out of the gas station driving off switching into third then I realized the car wasn't accelerating....at first I thought it was the clutch, but that was changed 3000 miles ago. I pull over and. Gear oil is pouring outta the transmission. Its not the plugs so I'm guessing it has to be the axel seal and with my luck its the passenger side one.

That could be the only thing that would make it pour our fluid right?
Bitter
or the case cracked.

Shhhh**t.....so this may have been my fault. It turns our the bracked to the passenger side axel came loose and the axel popped out. I can only hope no damage was done to the tranny. Idk how the hell that happened I tightened it as tight as I could get it

It should be fine. The most immediate damage with no fluid would be the syncronizers but they would simply refuse to let you change gears while the engine was on if there was no fluid.

Reattach the carrier bearing and ALWAYS ALWAYS use a torque wrench. Maybe a little blue locktight this time around wouldnt hurt either. Make sure you fill it to 2.6 quarts I believe, no more or less than spec. Alot of us are using Pennzoil Syncromesh, our trannies love the stuff.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out

Yea, I have been using Pennzoil. I got the axel off in like 5 minutes...the seal I have been battling for 3 hours and still havent gotten it out. Its stuck in there goood. Not much room to work my seal puller.

Ok. Thanks for the info. You answered the question I had. I switched my passenger axle out last week and some of the tranny fluid poured out. So I should refill it with pennzoil synchromesh? Right? How do you refill Manual Transmission anyways? Is it like Hondas where you unbolt the top bolt from the side of the tranny from under the car?

yes it is. takes about a little less than 3 quarts (75w-90). If you take a look at my cv axle diy you can see the where the fill plug is.

Same thing happen to me, unfortunately i wasn't so lucky. My transmission gave out.

Man these things can never go smoothly. I got the seal out then the new one was a pain in the ass to get in...its not flush but I got it in as far as I could. Now the axle won't go in. It started raining, but hopefully a 2x4 and a hammer will do the trick and if I'm lucky the transmission wll be in one peace

Is it normal that my fill and drain plug socket size isn't 17mm but it's a 24mm? I have a 97 celica gt.

Ok. Just wanted to make sure. Thought the previous owner replaced the oem nuts when he had the clutch swapped.
