Guest RPM_PARTS Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have a problem with a newly fitted auto box ! When i drive the car for about 30 minutes and the box warms up it starts to leak! could this be a problem with the cooler ( blocked) or with the pump or something !!! This is driving me nuts as i have just changed the box due to a leak! I cant see there being a problem with the box (well there could be ) as it came from "Jagman" and it worked fine in his car. Any help would be great ! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RPM_PARTS Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 hi mate It was a new rad about 1 year ago. i did have a leaking heater matrix so i use some rad seal, would that cause a problem !? its leaking from the front seal ( where the box meets the engine ) drips out the bottom!

michael Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'm not aware of being a tall white bird that delivers babies or that I'm some kind of cooking margarine *shrug* I wasn't having dig BTW, I was just going to suggest that if you have an issue with one box why not fit your spare one instead of selling it... but it doesn't sound like that will help. Where is the leak coming from? Interesting that you don't want it now though, I could do with a spare one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RPM_PARTS Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 email him and offer him £6 he may bite your arm off !! kidding sounds like it would be a perfect box! my old box had a leak and i fitted a new seal and i think i pinched the seal or something, pissed me off when it still pissed even more oil over my drive! so i bought a box of jagman and fitted that and after get ting the box hot ( a few high speed runs it pissed oil again [ANGRY][/ANGRY] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Is that a mkIII in your avatar?? This is a transmission on a mkiv isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 all I can say is that internal pressure will rise with temp increase thus will increase tendacy to leak. sorry cant help other than that ; as said wheres it leaking from Rich:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 When its hot, the oil is thinner and will find its way out a lot easier. If its leaking from the bellhousing it sounds like the front seal on the 'box, so out it comes again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I remember a post stating that you did not put the correct fluid in the box..... Exactly what type fluid is in there now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absz Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 did you have any oil leaks with your last box? if not then i would say front oil seal. but if your last box was also leaking from the same place then its most proberly the torque converter outer impellor shaft worn. (the chrome shaft thingy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RPM_PARTS Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 the tc seemed fine, the story starts with me giving the car some stick down the motor way (off the clock) when i slowed up and cruised home i noticed smoke ( gear box oil leaking near the exhaust ) i changed the front seal, and to be honest the inner metal seal type thing didnt look that good but i was rushing it, and when started up, guess wot! it pissed. so i got a second hand box off jagman which im sure is ok and when fitted and run up to temp,!!!! drip drip drip. and yes it a porsche 944 with the gf in the av picture. and no im not fitting the box it that! getting to the point where the box know how to take its self off !!![ANGRY][/ANGRY] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=99701 I assume you did infact get the correct fluid for the box in the end ? It should be Toyota Type IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RPM_PARTS Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 yea not cheap [sHOCK][/sHOCK] would it of made a difference tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Not to your current problem I do not think but certainly to the overall life of the box. IIRC some other types of fluid can damage the seals on the box after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
