Diseazd Posted March 28, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2010 I've got tranny fluid leaking from the area where the front of the driveshaft slides into the rear of the tranny. Anyone have a solution to this problem or know of any previous posts dealing with this? I assume it's probably a seal of some sort.

Arne Posted March 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2010 The output seal is about $5-7 from Nissan. Pull the driveshaft, and R&R the seal. Simple job. Part number 32136-U0100, same for all years, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psdenno Posted March 29, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 29, 2010 Wish I had read this yesterday before I hit the road in my Z. It started puking trans fluid at 70 mph on the freeway and is now at a transmission shop 100 miles from home.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted March 29, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 29, 2010 I just ordered a seal myself for the 260. Courtesy Nissan stocks them for around $10. I assume it's a straight forward job. Remove the driveshaft, pry the seal out and tap the new one into place. Anything else Arne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted March 29, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 29, 2010 Nope. That about covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted March 29, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks. Just like replacing the rear outer control arm bushings, right? Step 1) Remove spindle pin nuts Step 2) Remove lock pin Step 3) Remove spindle pin Step 4)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply sawzall, heat, cuss words, 10 tons of press, et voila! :stupid: I saved my spindle pin pieces for future use as punches and drifts. But yeah output seals are usually pretty straight forward. Just be sure the seal goes in straight and you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be sure the seal goes in straight and you should be fineI'm guessing the one in my recently rebuilt 5 speed was NOT put in correctly and that's what caused the problem after about 100 miles of use. Still waiting for the damage report from the transmission shop.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted March 30, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 30, 2010 Rusty or dirty or pitted yoke on the drive shaft at the seal lip. Ate it up. Polish yoke, and position the new seal at a slightly different spot in its bore to put the new lip at a different spot on the yoke. Not much else to go wrong other then the inner surface of the seal seat have crap left there after removing the old one and not cleaning it properly. All very repairable by this shop, just make sure they do it right.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
