JaSSon Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 My tranny is leaking where the drive shaft slides in. no drips, just looks like it splatters the bottom of the car while i'm driving. I know pretty much what i need to fix it, but it's an incredibly slow leak, so i'm not worried. But my rear-end is worrying me. It too is leaking where it bolts to the drive shaft. No drips, but again splatter, but heavier than the transmission. And i can't drain it without removing the entire cover and scraping off gacket silicon and... just a pita to refill i bet. So what gasket (seal? whatever?) do i need to replace? how hard is this going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 you need a rear tranny seal and a pinon seal I'd do the tranny seal first it was the only one that appeared to be leaking when Fowler and I did your clutch. the goop on the rearend is probably from the tranny. if you have to do a pinon seal its pretty easy, but you'll have to unbolt the pinon nut wich usually requires an impact wrench.

stolen 5.0 Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 no gasket needed for the rear end cover, jus some black rtv. and if u remove the pinion nut, it's best to go get another one, they are one time use bolts fowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conesmasher Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Try bannanas it usually helps me when I got the runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest White Horse Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 +1 do tranny first, you KNOW thats leaking, you THINK the rear is. +1 stolen 5.0 And yeah, filling the rear is fun in the stang... its worth the couple of bucks to buy one of those fancy-schmancy filler spouts that screw into the end of the oil bottle. It will save you a few headaches and a lot of wasted oil that you will otherwise spill on youself... *note I hate tranny leaks... graemlins/thumbsdown.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 throw a can of stop leak in it. j/k tranny for shure. When the seal on my satelite went, it made it look like the rear was splattering, but i never lost a bit of rearend fluid. Take note of the temp of you rearend after driving. If it feels warmer than it chould be, you could be low on lube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
