Discovered I have a pretty good transmission leak the other day, anybody know the part number that seals up that black plate?? Also there is a much smaller leak coming from that left area, Anybody have a layout or diagram? :confused:

MD997740 aka grey RTV silicone sealant...lightly tighten, let set for a bit then torque...never had a leak on 3 rebuilds has that case been opened or overhauled? |
Negative, not yet at least. Those synchros are going to need some love at some point.
|
seems odd that the inspection cover and case/clutch housing mating surface would just leak if it has never been taken apart. in any case, regular old permatex ultra grey is what i use.
|
Yeah, glad I noticed it. Picking up that sealant today, also got my RRM brake lines to swap out the old ones today. Once I am actually under the car I am going to make sure that's where it is coming from, but I am 99% sure it is. It's the only place there is any oil.
|
Yep, it was the inspection plate. Drove a little over 1k miles on it this weekend over some mountains, no leaks. As far as the other part, I smeared some over the crack lol. So far so good.
|
hope it holds up for you...beats draining the oil, pulling it out, splitting it, and resealing...
|
Yeah that is what I am hoping for, buuuut it would be a good excuse to replace the clutch/flywheel {thumbup}

Hello Cranswick, I recently brought my 2004 Ralliart to a Mitsu dealer and have an engine oil and transmission oil change. Yes, I know I should have trusted my instinct and have done it myself. Anyway, that black plate is for inspection only, why would an oil leak there after a transmission oil change? What could the dealer have done to cause this. I bought this car with no oil leak under it and after bringing it over there, now i have an oil leak. Now, I will definitely not bring this car thre for timing belt and clutch replacement. What do you suggest that I should do to stop that leak? I mean, if i open it and re-seal that black plate, will it still leak inside and accumulate behind the black plate?
|
I think i found the cause, they didn't tighten the oil fill plug...its about a quarter to half turn loose...
|
Oil sits on top of that plate, if you take it off, the transmission will drain its fluid...it's for inspection but also to remove/install the reverse idler gear during assembly and disassembly. There is no reason to remove this cover unless the intent is to disassemble the transmission.
