Hi All,
Have been a lurker for a while and have found great help on these forums, but I have an issue I haven't quite found a direct answer too yet it seems it may be common. I have a 2008 ex-l auto v6 with 86k that developed a trans fluid leak.
I have a leaking axle on the passenger side transmission housing where the shaft enters the transmission.(Pic 1). This is the first I have noticed fluids from my car started about a week ago.
The CV join may have leaked at somepoint but I haven't seen any fluid until now and it doesn't seem fresh fluid is coming form there.(Pic 2)
I explained to Honda my problem and got the part in (pic 3).
A couple questions,
1. is the part I purchased the correct part?
2. If I am doing the work, would it make more sense to buy the whole assembly, if so from where? Link if you have it.
3. Once the shaft is out anything I should look for, bearings, wear?
4. I am more than comfortable wrenching my own cars. But most of my experience with transmission have been RWD maunual transmission cars. What type of job am I getting into? Should I just have someone else do it.
Honda quoted me $350 over the phone but when they said it was a $15 dollar part I couldn't in good conscience pay them to do it.
