What side of town do you live in
how many days would it take in an auto repair shop to fix an axle leak?
Scotty Kilmer how long does it take to fix a leaking axle in a repair shop?
Hey Scotty ! I used your advice amd used that bars head gasket repair stuff , and it fucked my car up even worse than it was before! Now I have my motor all torn apart and got ripped off on eBay for the gasket kit guy never sent it! Not your fault but the bars guarantee you told me about made my car even worse !!! How am I supposed to trust you now!!
only use an oem seal as cheaper replacements often don't fit perfectly
I literally never knew anything about fixing cars before, your channel has helped so much. It's such a blessing to have this kind of knowledge.
Thanks Scotty hope you live to be a 100.
Mike Blake i was thinking the same thing he is so humble ☺️
Scotty had a great helper🐈👍
Thats a torture.
Man, learning way more watching these videos than when i was working at a mechanics shop, thanks scotty, helped me with alot of problems on my car, that wouldve taken me otherwise years to learn how to do on my own since mechanics by trade are taught very slowly.
Good work and demonstration, you make the seal removal look so simple.
I have a 92 toyota corolla (looks exactly like what you are fixing) and I have the exact same issue. You make it look so easy, Scotty!
You are the man. Very helpful information laid out very simple. I work in a truck shop and am almost licensed and I still check out these videos when I have questions. Thank you
You are silly and entertaining. Yet, most of all, you know your stuff. You probably have no idea how much you help the world in general. Thank you for being your brother's keeper!
Man you know your stuff, along with having the correct tools for mechanic work. Your videos continue to help me perform mechanic work. Keep it up friend and thanks.
My 95 civic is leaking oil between the transmission and block. Any idea what the name of the gasket is or what it can be?
try my video "how to fix a car that idles poorly"
depends on the design, some you can do without taking them all apart. and some are made so you have to take it apart to get to an inner seal
Everything I ever need done Scotty’s got the answer. I think he’s going to be a member of everyone’s family across the world someday.
Thanks for this. QUESTION: How far should the new seal go in? Got a 94 sentra automatic and there's no inner lip on the shaft hole in the trans housing. Should they be seated just flush to the outside in this case? Changed it a couple times and keeps leaking; dawned on me that maybe I'm pushing it in too far.
I sure will fix it myself thanks for another impressive tutorial Scotty.
My axel for my 2003 jetta came out pepboys fixed it but has been shifting rough and leaking trans fluid now..
What should indo
Hey, Scotty question , I have a 96 Saturn sl2, with a small leak in passanger side axle seal. Wondered if it could be causing a pressure issue with the trans, and causing my shifting problems?
I've replaced all the solenoinds a while back.. But it seems like when it gets hot, I'll get a p0733 and p0734 code pop up.. And upshifts to quick, or even downshifts to quick even slowing down..
yes, AT 205 reseal, hard to find, amazon sells it though
I recently bought a 78 buick electra park avenue 350, it had low miles and drives well but it has a transmission leak but it seems to be dripping from the flywheel dust cover, im just curious if you think its the main pump seal also, it had no problems but they sat it in a garage for over 10 years. and i have tried lucas and bars stop leak neither of them had any effect on it but it still leaks
Through the magic of video editing I should be able to do this in 3 min. Thanks Scotty :)
Hi Scott,
My 08' MDX seems to have a leak on both left and right side of the output shaft seal, is that unusual or the transmission is leaking instead?
Any advice is welcome. thanks.
change the seals with good quality OEM and if it still leaks your differential bearings are more then likely going out.
Thus was so ridiculously fast, to the point and helpful. thankyou!!
probably time to see a guy like me to analyze it. Over a dozen different things can trip that code, and a dealer level scanner analysis would be the best first thing to do
Hi Scotty I am planning to change this very same seal on my 92 Nissan Sentra, but I have read in some manuals that the right axle must be pull out before the left one (where I have a seal broken) Is that true? And also is it necessary to drain the transmission fluid before this? thank you.
not true, put a pan under the side and catch what little comes out when you pull the axle out
thank you Scotty I love your videos
You rock bro!!! Thanx for taking the time to make these videos!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Scotty. I have a Cadillac 1996 SLS. It's leaking transmission fluid on the passenger side. Only leaking when driving. Could it be the output shaft seal on that side? I know the 4T80E has issues with drivers side output shaft seals. But mine is pouring out when driving from the passenger side area by the axle shaft into transfer case.
it's good that your showing how easy these things can be, i've been doing work on all my family members cars since 12 years old.
Thank you mister kilmer for making all your knowledge available for everyone.
I replaced the seal in My 01 focus automatic on the driver side. I had to use a special tool, it wouldn't go on without it. It's still leaking when I drive, not as bad. But still leaking. The seal I have has a spring on the back. I researched before installing, & a trick was putting grease around that spring to prevent it from popping out of place, while tapping in. I forgot to put the grease over/around the spring. Could this be why it's still leaking? It started leaking after replacing the cv axle. The old one was worn out the broken
Hey Scotty, do I need to replace my old o ring where my new transmission filter would go in?
yep, saves on commuting time. I'm here right now answering your question too.
I have a 2004 Vibe AWD (matrix). Would this seal be the same process on the rear differential? Other than the obvious brake shoes and minus tie rod.
Hey scotty my 2001 Honda Civic starts to jerk when I accelerate I tried reconnecting batteries and adding oil to the engine but I can't seem to find what's wrong any ideas?
Wow you make it look so easy! Now my turn to “fix it myself” you made my day☺️👍🏽
Hey Scotty Kilmer, I bout a 2003 Nissan spectra yesterday with the fluid leaking out of the bottom should I be worried?
yes, they have weak transmissons to begin with, you drive it low on fluid, it will break faster. fix the leak
Does 3rd Gen (2007-2011) Honda CRV has a output shaft seal? I'm suspecting my transmission fluid is leaking as the dealer just did a flush and changed the ATF transmission fluid 6 months ago but now my CRV's transmission fluid level is terribly low (I just filled it up). What are some of the common transmission fluid leaking cause with 3rd Gen Honda CRV? Thanks!
yes, especially on an older car, more than 7 years old
Can you push output shaft seal too far in? How do I know if it is all the way in? Replaced on 2nd gen tundra and it is leaking can I pull shaft and just bang it in further or do i have to try again with new seal?
You're great, Scott! I always enjoy your videos -- highly informative, easy to understand, and entertaining because of your unique personality. God bless you! :)
I have a 2010 Nissan Altima. Seems the car had front end crash before I purchased it. The axle was recently changed and transmission fluid started leaking out. The old seal used I couldn’t find at any auto part store. Finally went to Napa and got something equivalent to the old seal but it seems the mechanic is saying due to the damage on the car that; that part of the transmission is way bigger than it’s suppose to be for a seal, he could be wrong but any suggestions? Or do we try different transmission seals until we see what fits?
Keep in mind this was not leaking prior to the axle change
Dude your energy is awesome, thanks for the vid!
you rock Scotty!
I have a question pertaining to this! I have a 2008 Kia Rio and it’s doing the same thing leaking from the trans, by the seals! I was told I need a whole new transmission, could this be true.
Thanks Scotty, you are the best. I hope i can work it out myself.
Hey scotty, I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla Le. It has 42,250 miles on it and I never changed the transmission fluid. Is it a good idea to drain and refill it soon or at 60k miles. I will use Toyota ATF type 4 fluid if I do it. Thanks!
do you need to drop the transmission in order to replace the TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL in a 2011 Malibu with 2,4l engine?
I’m dealing with the same issue I think . For I purchase my car they put in a used transmission and now I’m getting a lot of grinding noise as I accelerate people who have looked at it said whoever put the transmission and didn’t replace the output shaft bearing seal and that’s what’s making that noise. Does this sound able right ? It’s a 2008 mercury Milan premier v6 3.0
which is better, lucas or rislone for Mazda MX3 transmission leak problem?
Great video and I love your energy man! Thanks for sharing!
you make it look so quick and easy Scotty! lol thanks for the video! :)
I have a 2007 Chevy impala that leaks transmission fluid.. need help
Thanks for the info.. need to do this on my 1988 Honda Accord DX.. 198k miles on it.
Hey Scotty love the channel I had a massive leak today and it drained all my fluid out on suspecting the pan seal is leaking cause that's where it was coming from I'm hoping it's a job I can do myself thanks for the videos
I have an 02 corolla. It's just a commuter car. It's been leaking and I constantly add fluid. Would this be the same deal in fixing it. I'm gonna check it today...
Straight forward clear instruction. Thanks Scotty
I watch a lot of your videos and they help a lot. Thanks !
already have " getting your car ready for winter weather"
thank u so much scotty i thought my transmission was going bad this video really helped my seal was bad
try some AT 205 reseal, i get it from amazon.
@Scotty Kilmer Thanks alot, your helping me alot wih fixing my car MG 1500
It was tried, but seal was too hard and worn out. It did slow it down for a long time, but twenty years is about max for any oil seal before they dry out.
You are a pro thanks so much I appreciate your efforts in making these gems. -PawPaw
Use the old seal to tap in the new seal... Prevents damage to the new seal :)
Would this technique work on a 2004 Chrysler Pt cruiser with an automatic transmission?
this guy is crazy, I love it. he is also a great "explainer?"
My 98 honda prelude manual sat for 3 weeks I come back and notice my clutch goes all the way to the floor.. It goes into gear when the car is off easy. How much is this going to cost? Roughly.. Help please. It must be just a leak right?
Thanks Scotty looks much more simple than what I imagined
Scotty,why does my new oem output shaft seal go into Trans case so easily? I don't even have to tap it in? This is on the passenger side of 03 camry v6.When I took out the inner axle the original seal came out with the axle. Never saw this occur in 40 years. Thanks in advance
+Scotty Kilmer Hi I have a similar problem where there is a very slow leak from the bell house of my 2004 Jeep Wrangler sport. It has a 42RLE auto trans. Does the transmission have to be pulled to replace the front seal or can I/a mechanic do the above.
sir, can you help me with the right spec of a honda accord 2006 output shaft seal, i need to buy one. Thanks.
Scotty thank youuuu.💕👌🏻
Have you ever worked on a 2014 Ford Escape I got a few leaks 1 when a guy changed my driver side axle he hit something and transmission started to leak now there's another leak how do I fix it without spending $8,000
Hey I have a 96 mustang coupe 3.8 manual transmission what kind of gear oil does it take
P2106 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited Power Engine power and RPM's will be limited and cruise control will be disabled . Generally you have to replace the throttle body on the engine with a new unit, ford had problems with them big time.
as I already said, brake lines hold 2000 psi upwards, a little hanging isn't going to harm anything that strong. If it did start to leak, it would need replacing anyway.
I just did my replace my clutch in my 2006 Hyundai elantra an it did start leaking untile I back it up in my drive way to day could it vbe the seal.
Just under 3 minutes and you are good to go! it's that easy.

Hi Scotty, i have a question: when a PCV valve fails and cause an oil leak on radial seals, once we replace the PCV valve with a good one, should we change the affected seals?
I need to replace the extension housing gasket on my 1996 Town Car. What is the easiest way to do this myself?
no, tie rod was not moved on the adjusting nut. And on this car, the strut bolts only go on one way, they are not in slotted holes that are adjustable. Some cars are, but not this one.
Another of many great DIY vid's, Thanks Scotty.
many things can make noises, but worn bushings often do that, spray WD 40 on em all and see if they quiet down first.
Would this repair be the same in a Saturn SC-1?
Scotty, you’re a god-send always. Thanks. Anyways if you see this, I just got my crv and my drive shaft that goes to the rear diff. Is what’s leaking, I was just wondering if you knew anything about the crv I can’t find a video on that particular repair.
replace the pcv valve and pray that helps. if not, your engine is flat wearing out and oil is blowing from the crank to the air filter
you only took 3 mins to make it look easy when in other youtube vids people take 8 or 10 mins shows youre Great at this

Looks so easy. Last time I had to pull the shaft I had to have it pressed out of the wheel. Took 10 tons of pressure !
Hi Scotty,
I have a 2002 Nissan Altima that has a small leak coming from the torque converter will this fix that leak? Also how much of the at 205 would I use on it? Thank you.
it can stop if IF it's a leaking seal there, use one bottle
You make it look so easy!
Well he's been a mechanic for 46 years lol. When working on cars that long you can do anything because it takes about 5-10 to become a great mechanic and fully understand everything in and out when working on a car. The more experience you get working in a shop, the more you're going to understand better. From you're mistakes and from all the training you have working on cars.

I'd say you do a pretty damn good job at responding to people. Honestly, I don't know how the hell you keep up with it. Kudos.
you can often use a long cheater bar and a socket
My father recently went to test drive 2001 Gmc and when he drove off first gear shifted hard but as he drove it longer the engine and transmission got warm it stopped shifting hard, What could cause that?
always learning something from watching your videos , thank you!!!
Where does the automatic output shift repair sleeve go and how do you install it.
