# uuuugh leakage in tranny area -- >

Posted by mentat (93se 5spd) on July 16, 2003 at 15:02:05: I first noticed some seepage on the engine side of the tranny quite a few months ago, very minor, figured its probably the rear main seal... so i still have that going (to be fixed when my flywheel comes and i get my clutch job done and over with). now the bigger concern for me is that i am now definitely leaking gear oil, from the backside of the tranny, ie the side by the wheel. very hard to tell where it is dripping from, looks like there might be some coming from the fill hole, no big deal obviously. but there also appears to be some coming from (WHAT THE HECK IS THIS SENSOR) maybe a sending unit of some kind? drivers side, rear side of the tranny, there is a black plug with a wire coming out of it... anybody know wtf this thing is? speed sensor is on the topside of the tranny, i know this... for the life of me i can't figure out what this thingamabob is... dont have a pic but its pretty much the only "thing" on that side of the tranny. any ideas? thx as always m@ Replys: that's the gear indicator wire or something like that. --> Matt (93SE) 15:08:49 7/16/2003 (0)
