I recently changed my clutch, so I had to remove everything from the bell housing back.
After I installed the clutch and put it all back together, I also changed the fluid in the gear box.
I used ATF.
Then my gear box started to leak !.
My mechanic has looked at it twice now and swears that it is leaking from some hose thingy that goes into the gearbox. He tried changing the copper washer but it still leaked.
He looked at it again today and still thinks it coming from this hose thing and wants me to get a replacement.
1. What would this hose thingy on the gearbox be?
2. Do you think that's my problem?
It never leaked before.
I am thinking it is one of two things.
1. When the tranny was dropped for the clutch change perhaps we hit/moved something (hose thingy) that's causing it to leak or,
2. When I changed the fluid for ATF the new fluid was so thin that it found ways to leak.
Keep in mind the old fluid that came out looked pretty bad, thick and brown and smelly.
