I've been beating myself to death trying to find out why i am getting water my expensive 98 JDM ITR Tranny. I have now had two tranny fluid changes and still I'm dealing with the same issue. I don't have any fluid leaking out so where is the water comming in at. My ideas are either the shift shaft or axle inputs. But I feel that the amount of water is to much for it to be comming through the shift shaft. Any ideas would be very helpful cause changing the tranny fluid every few weeks is irritating and usually unecessary.

 

It only takes a very small amount of water to emulsify oil. If you are not seeing fluid coming out, I would think the axle shafts the most likely

 

Thats my thoght as well a few months ago i had some vibrations at 80 and know even with my new set of tires are balanced and aligned. I agree its got to be one of the axles i'm going to check it out tommorrow i'll let ya know....


Thanks,
Anthony

 

Trannys always have an air vent somewhere. I sorta recall a tube under the radiator hoses. Looks like a hose nipple sticking straight up with a cap on it. Cap missing? Wrong kind of cap (I guess it needs some kind of vent)?

 

i think the problem is the radiator,conz the cooler system of the tran next to the radiator,they bulit it together,check the cooler level,then ,you can find out,profession idea,i am a mechanic,hope it will help

 

theirs no tranny cooler if this is what your talking about but as far as the cooling system that has no involvement to the tranny. And the cooling system is always the same thus far.
