PLZ HELP!! gearbox fluid leaking

[Vteckiller]

hey guys im a bit of a newby here and this is my first post but im going crazy trying to figure out what has happened to my gearbox. i have fluid leaking from somewhere up top and dripping down, and also a loud clanking sound and the shafts getting stuck sometimes when i roll slowly

this has all happened after a quick takeoff and axle tramping a bit. a few mates have told me maybe cv joints or gearbox is blown but car drives fine and selects gears normally just the noise and getting stuck sometimes and it is not leaking from either cv's so can someone please tell me what u think....

The most common leakage from gearbox's are the Rear Main Selant, which is a bitch to get to.

It's located pretty much in the centre of the gearbox.

but could that of blown because of axle tramping??

and why would the gearbox be clanking?

Yes mainly with axle tramping, you do know thats a pretty dangerous stunt.

and why would the gearbox be clanking?

Gearbox clanking, sounds like something has broken inside man.

Worst comes to worst, you'll have to for out cash for another gearbox.

yeh ive been considering that, but still highly doubt thats it the gearbox because i am able to drive the car fine and even thrash it just the noises coming from where the cv joints go in but like i said no leaking from there. thanks for your input anyway champ

[blk-boi]

ur cv joints are gone from the gearbox to the wheel which causes it to clank

[Vteckiller]

How is it still able to drive then? And it's not leaking from the cv at all?

[bennjamin]

Its highly likely the drivers side driveshaft has very slightly popped out exposing the seal edge and thus letting fluid out. Grindy noise prob the diff crown gear bouncing off the now free rotating driveshaft end



Regardless get
It to a mechanic asap

Yeh true it's going into the shop tomorrow so fingers crossed it's not
Expensive. It's leaking from some where up top of the gearbox though?!? That's why I'm so confused

[bennjamin]

How exactly do you know its leaking from the top ? Try and follow the fluid and trace it to its origin.

Yeh I have I've spent 2 hours just trying to find the leak but it is so
Where under my intake manifold to many cables and hoses in the way. Guess just gotta take everything out, was gonna change the clutch anyway so kill 2 birds with one stone
