What did you do to your BG today?? - Part II

[jasoncsprotege]

According to Derrick, the awd bpt/gtr front mainseal can be replace from the bellhousing without having to tear the whole trans apart. So maybe I'll order that seal up too, just in case. But in my instance I know it's engine oil causing the problem...

That is correct. The collar that the T/O bearing rides on unbolts and the seal is behind that.
I thought I knew mine was an engine oil problem as well untill I got the tranny off. The screwed thing for me it was late in the evening and I didn't have a seal, so I ended up putting a whole nother tranny in the car. Hope ful;ly this one doesn't start any time soon

It's not quite in proper shape yet. These are mostly pics that the Previous Owner took when selling it.

I kinda broke the engine a bit at a track day, so It's not in driving condition right now. But hey, for a stock 1.6L with over 200k on the odometer, I put a half mile between me and a 300+ whp STI over a 1.85 mile distance. The thing handles like God's own car, I love it!

I've got some 225/50-14's to put on some 14x7 Konig Rewind wheels for next year, the car is gonna be a friggin' go-kart!!

[diflictedminds]

just finished replacing clutch, axels, tie rod ends.... and realized that I shoulda replaced the input shaft seals....(totally see tranny fluid leaking from them!) Any suggestions:?

AWD must be considerably different for that seal then FWD

no lex, you must reinstall it from the inside.

Hmm ... shoulda done that while the tranny was still apart. The seals felt to be in excellent shape though - nice and pliable with no cracks.

And you're not sharing the pic?? lol

front tranny seal measn alot of bitch work to replace!!! be prepared to tear down the tranny & do a full rebuild

Can't you pull it out from around the shaft and squeeze in a new one? Or does the main shaft have to be out?

[jumpncrash]

well the wastegate flange is blocked off because the turbo is internally gated.

Be sure to check the front seal of the tranny as well. I replaced my clutch about 3 months ago cause it was starting to slip and I had been seeing oil leaking between the tranny and the pan, so I thought it was going to be a rear main seal and it ended up being the front seal of the tranny
