2002 Impreza, Leak between CV Joint and Transmission


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was looking over my 2002 impreza and have noticed a leak between the CV Joint and the transmission, it is on both sides of the vehicle however it is considerably worse on the right side. I originally thought it may have been a leaking CV boot however I have cleaned everything up and there is not visible tears, I also hear no clunking when driving. I have read that it could perhaps be a seal that needs replacing?

Any ideas appreciated,

Thanks

How long do you think it would take to fix both sides and cost to do it yourself? Cheers

Price of the seals, gearbox oil and possibly a wheel alignment. 2-4 hours max depending on how quick you spanner.

Is the leak gearbox oil or CV grease?

Good question! quite often its the inner cv it self the leaks from inside the spline.. can understand how that would be mistaken for a gearbox seal leak.. also the clunking could very well be the cv.. ie water in the cv, no grease left etc.

Remove the axles its easy enough

When I was cleaning the CV the substance I took off had more of a greasy feel to it. It was quite thick and hard to rub off but I will take another look after it has accumulated a little bit more, does that sound more like the CV leaking?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
