    i think i might have made a serious mistake with my axle...

    hey guys im pretty new to 3 geez. i did do some looking but not overly so if i missed someone who already made a thread like this sorry.
    anyways on to the matter.
    i have an 88 lx 5 speed and my drivers side cv was gone so i bought the new
    axle, replaced it, looked for a good 20 mins for the stupid fill hole and lone behold..........oil started pouring out of the trans at the axle. so im hoping i just stupidly didnt seat it right or something but i have a funny feeing its going to be a bit more then that. anyone have any advice??
    thanks for reading
    and sorry again if this was posted elsewhere

    hopefully I can help. Hopefully you just didnt push it in the whole way and thats all you need. Do you have an auto or 5 speed transmission?

    its a 5 speed i cant really get right under the car because my jack doesnt go that high but i did push it in and then i gave it a little pull and it wasnt pulling back out so i assumed it had clicked in

    It's probably not pushed all the way in. The CV shaft seal could be bad too.

    hmm well after it clicked in you shouldnt have had a problem.


    Try this site for the shop manual. You should be able to find where the filler hole is on the trans. I know where it is but honestly have no clue how to even describe it to you.
