how bads the leak? all g-box's seep thats a well know fact but how much is urs leaking? my dellow 2t/3t does the smallest bit but which car dont....

last monday before i went to get a rwc i got under the car and had a look for oil leaks an there was a little at bottom of the rear g/box seal wiped it of as they do seep a little. then when i was at my bros place on the wkend i noticed the was oil on the bitumen about the size of a cd thats when a started to have a look around and traced it back to where the shifter goes in to the top od the g/box.
So far iv checked the breather pipe its not blocked so the box shouldnt pressurising and forcing out the were the shifter goes in to the box also the oil goes rightup in side of the shifter boot so it must be coming out with a bit of pressure and i cant see an visible cracks so what else could it be

here a link to the short shifter that looks same or simlier to to the one that in my car if it and help

clicky for short shifter

id say it mite be a seal around ya drain plug/plugs....see if the leaking increase's after driving....let it sit after driving and watch!.....then if it does jack it up and use a l.e.d mechanics light and hava look....pay attention to the washers on ya plugs....mite help...other wise get professional help

You didnt overfill it did you?

i havnt filled it since i got it an the oil level is just below the filler bung on the side of the box so hasnt been over filled and oil is only at the rear of the box around the rear seal and the shifter also can u fill a sr20 g/box from the shifter hole

iv found the leak it is coming out the the shifter hole and a reasonable amount at that it happens mainly when it under high/extreme loadwould like to know of there should be some sort of baffle below the shifter area to stop this or some thing i would like to know if an y body has this trouble also and i would would like it fixed before i go to the jamboore cheers Harley
