      Hey Scotty Kilmer I had a question, I have a 2012 Honda Civic LX. One day I noticed my transmission was leaking. Sure enough I found it was leaking from where the CV meets the transmission. So I replaced the seal, then about a week or two later it started leaking so I replaced the seal again. That was two or three weeks ago. Today I looked at the street and saw transmission fluid again. I have 2 thoughts it's either the CV axle or the transmission. I would really appreciate the help if you can thank you

    I wish we had you as our mechanic. My grandmother just bought an 01' Honda Accord, which has an expired recall for the transmission, and she's had so many issues with it. The car lot she bought it from is taking care of her because I know the owner but they've put in three rebuilt transmissions and each transmission only lasted about a week. Then after the third one it started having issues again and they said it was a bad sensor.
    So they replaced that and then a week later it started having issues again, then they said it was the plug the sensor went into that went bad. So they replaced that and now its back in the shop again after I noticed it was leaking. I checked the oil and it was fine so I was sure it was the transmission fluid, only I couldn't confirm because I couldn't find a way to check the transmission fluid levels.
    She was driving it the other day and it started having issues getting going from a stop, then the check engine light came on. She shut it off and waited a few min and turned it back on and the light went off and the car drove fine the rest of the way home. They said they would get her in another car if they couldn't fix it this time, though I would think by now they'd just take it to a Honda Dealership since their mechanic can't seem to fix it.

    A lot of times when I put seals in I'll use the end of a 2x4 or 2x2 to strike with the hammer.The wood is more forgiving and I can bridge all the way across the seal and drive in both sides at the same time leaving less chance of deforming or ruining the seal.On RWD transmissions there is an output shaft that sticks out beyond the seal.For those I take a hole saw and cut a hole in the flat side of the 2x4 big enough for the shaft to fit through.

  • @blakeyon2asd
    @blakeyon2asd Před 9 lety +2

    I think you forgot a pretty main item on this video which is vehicle speed sensor, for those with automatics. A lot of times people with check trans fluid ( not knowing how to do it and have it read low) then fill it and blow the seal out of the vss.
