Hey guys I just noticed my 5sp trans has a little small leak out of the little door/cover on the bottom of the transmission with maybe 5 10mm bolts hiding it in place.

Was wondering if there was any sort of filter in the transmission under this door, like you would find in an automatic trans?

Whats the door for anyways if not filter? Is there a gasket under the door or do I just use some liquid gasket to fix the leak?

Its an access panel to remove the reverse idler gear. the reverse idler has to be removed before removing the shafts, that's why the access panel is there. It is sealed with silicone. I doubt its leaking. When the trans is filled, excess fluid that comes out of the fill hole collects on the lip of that thing. Just spray it off with brake cleaner. If fluid returns, then consider draining the trans and pulling it off to reseal it.

 

Ahh ok. I cleaned it once 2 months ago, just did an oil change and saw it was slightly wet again. I need to do a trans-oil change so I'll just reseal it when I'm down there anyways.

Thanks
