WoodsWagon Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 My dad's car has oil leaking from the adjustment bolts on the side of the manual tranny. I'd ignore it, but it is dripping down onto the crossover pipe and buring off. I assume that there are O-rings around these bolts, but I'm afraid if I remove them and replace the seals, I will never get it to go back together. The tranny will be pulled out for a clutch job in a few months, or a year, depends on how loud the throwout bearing and how bad the judder gets. Should I wait till then and take the tranny apart? I have no experience working on trannys, so I dunno... Advise anone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 what adjustment bolts are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 There's the fill bolt and the drain plug, and then a bunch of other bolts on the side of the tranny which I thought were adjusting bolts. These bolts are leaking. I'm just afraid that if I remove these bolts, something will fall to the bottom of the tranny or that it will never shift right again.

SuBrat84 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 sounds like the bolts that hold the tranny together?? Have you tried tightening them just a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Wouldn't those bolt be along the perimiter of the tranny? these are smack dab in the middle of the side. Smallish bolts, mabe 10-12mm heads on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
