Guest CHEVY II Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 For all of the jetranger guys out there...if the transmission oil keeps rising without actually adding any and the engine oil drops without seeing it on the bottom of the machine...what the heck is going on? As far as I understand, this can happen but is supposed to happen the other way around...transmission oil---> Engine. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Check your freewheel unit: the seal might be leaking engine oil into the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Elvis is right, but it''s not that it might be leaking, it is leaking. And no, it doesn''t happen the other way round. It will always transfer engine to transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruised Armpit Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 CTD is right. Keep an eye in the Tx oil level and don''t let it get to high...weird thing can happen. Drain it by pulling the chip plug at the bottom of the freewheel in the enginge bay and pushing on the spring stopper(or whatever that thingy is called) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212wrench Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 don''t push the spring as it can get cocked and not seal. disconnect the freewheel supply line at the front of the freewheel(its a 5/8" wrench) and let it drain into the engine deck. also it is leaking and will go engine to transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Croucher Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Actually it can go the other way - we've got one here - opened up the engine oil filler cap this morning and it went all over the place. phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 He''s drained the excess oil a couple of time and still think it''s not the freewheel seal leaking??? Change the freewheel seals, high engine oil pressure is not the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 PS if Your handle is ChevyII why do You have a long ranger as Your avtar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CHEVY II Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Will suggest it to him tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CHEVY II Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 frewheel seal huh? I've discussed the issue with the head wrench and he's even drained the excess fluid on a couple occasions but is still convinced that it can only go one way Must be a pain in the azz to change the seal I guess! Perhaps it's the engine oil pressure is causing this...it runs on the high side! Will have to bug him again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
