OK SO YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE PALM BEACH INT'L RACE TRACK. 1ST TIME ON THE TRACK. OK SO IM READY FOR TAKE OFF AND I WENT A LITTLE TO HIGH ON LAUNCH AND I BROKE COMPLETELY LOSE ALL OF FIRST INTO SECOND THROUGH HALF OF SECOND AND WHEN I FINSH MY PASS. WHEN I PARK UP I SEE SOME SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD, OPENED IT UP AND THERE WAS TRANNY FUILD ALL OVER MY HEADER AND SUB FRAM AND DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR. SO I CHECKED THE TRANNY FOR ANY CRACKS NONE. WELL I DROVE HOME FROM PALM BEACH TO MIAMI DADE FINE ONLY ONE THING WHEN I GO INTO BOOST THE CLUTCH SLIPS(SPEC STAGE 3 WITH FLYWHEEL. ALSO ITS STILL DRIPPING VERY LITTLE AFTER I DRIVE IT. I THINK IT MIGHT BE A SEAL. ANY OTHER IDEAS WILL HELP BEFORE I DROP IT TO CHECK FOR MYSELF.

 

You didnt say what year your car is but here is the deal of the week on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

item number: 370398225309
Item location: midwest, United

 

dam thats funny i just put that tranny on my ebay watching items thanks bro

 

Probably because you were granny shifting and not double clutching like you should have....

 

Thats a lot cheaper than trying to fix one. Yon can use yours for spare parts for later on down the road. It also says make offer.

 

ok well i just lifted the car no cracks on the tranny at all. the fluid is coming out of the flywheel vent so this makes it the seal correct??? correct me if im wrong.

i think its the oppisite got a lil to excited

 

If the clutch is slipping, there's fluid on it. Gonna be a crack inside the case, or the input shaft seal. Pull the trans

 

Whats with the CAPS?

What year is the car?

 

Why people keep asking the year of the car it's irrelivant at this point gheez. Like Joe said you gotta pull tranny it's probally cracked on the inside. Time for a tranny and a new clutch

 

do u think wheel hop caused this?

 

Lol, fast and furious...

 

hay your not the only one with problems, you ask'd what happened to my car last night and this is it

 

^^^ why are your hands black? wtf black people dont drive cobalts

 

Most likely. Track was actually quite sticky.

x2

 

hope theres no crack i dont have 600 dollars for a new tranny. at least if its a seal it will probably be a little cheaper.

 

 

U still need a clutch

 

why do i need a clutch??

 

can almost say positively you cracked the trans inside the bell housing, and if trans fluid got on the clutch disc, well it's garbage now

 

no freaking way i have to get another clutch now. there isnt anyway of cleaning the fuild off the disk??

 

Why do you keep arguing with people

Oil on a friction surface isnt good

If you don't want people to ask year and model of car then don't ask for help

Hard to diagnose something that people don't know what to go with could be a F23 or a F35 Trans

 

arguing??? i didnt post anything about not wanting to say the year. its an 07 lsj

 

It's an LSJ, year doesn't matter.




The clutch might be savable, but it's probably easier to just order a new disc, they aren't that expensive. The trans is probably garbage. Sucks, but that's what happens when they hop.

 

joe but i dont see how the housing can be cracked if the whole ride home not one noise nothing gears go in perfectly fine and clutch grabs good at low rpms. i really hope its just the shaft seal. anyone know the cheapest place to order the spec stage 3 disk??

 

Pull it and see, gonna have to come out either way. Doesn't have to be a big crack.

Spec might be the only place to get the disk itself. Call them up direct and at least get a part # for the disc, and ask them if you can buy from them or if you have to go through a dealer. I know Exedy will sell you replacement disks direct from them.
