Transaxel gear oil leaking after five miles driving

just pier it out with a screw driver it is no good so it does not matter how it comes out,but the new one needs to be installed carefully

2000 audi a4 is built with a transaxel meaning all tires rotate at the same time with the same energy, there is 2 bolts under the transaxel which are to fiil wth transaxel oil front and back need to see if you have enough oil in these 2 plases front its easy as you take the bolt off if you have driping oil its ok other than that add oil, rear itsdifferent you must take the bolt off and insert your finguer trou and see if you can touch the oil if not you must buy a pump to pump oil into it when driping out means its full best to buy repair manual to figur out better good luk

Check the oil filter. The old gasket might be stuck on the engine (two gaskets stuck together), or the new gasket might be defective, misaligned or missing.

use a large pry bar pry the inner tripod cv joint out of the transaxle differential gears.you have a retaining circlip that holds transaxle in place in the transaxle.besure to replace circlip and o ring seal on the transaxle stub shaft.torque strut assembly to steering knuckle attaching bolts.install the nuts to the attaching bolts and while holding bolt heads torque to 125 ft lbs and torque axle hub nut 125 ft lbs

how to replace transaxel seal

Vibrations can be mostly from the mountings, plz check the gear box mountings too and the shafts!

They are to transfer fluid to different parts of the transaxle. If it is loose it could cause an internal leak which could result in lower that normal oil pressure in the transaxle. Low oil pressure could cause transaxle failure because clutches would not apply with enough holding pressure. I would suggest replacing it with a new one or see if you can expand the loose end and press it back into it's bore.

The beaings job is to not only give the axle something to rotate on, but also the keep the axle centered in the hole. When the bearing gets loose, it allows the axle shaft to have an oblong roation, which wears on the seal and allows it to leak. You don't have to run the trans low on fluid to have the output bearings go bad. If you have gone enough miles to wear out a clutch, you have gone enough miles to get some play in the bearings.

was the seal put in correctly. there is a certain way that a seal must be installed. generally i like to bake sure that there are no burrs on the shaft that slides through the seal. also the rubber part of the seal is usualy dry and they should have given you seal grease to soften it up before installation. did you use a seal driver to install the seal? trying to just tap it in with just a hammer will usually damage it and then it will leak. double check to make sure it was the right seal it's been known to happen that you go and buy a seal and you get home and it's the wrong one. i'm sure the problem is a a mis installed seal. unfortunately when you remove the seal you will not be able to reuse it due to the damage . you will have to purchase another one. hope this helps. please rate this solution....thanks
