Why would a drive shaft disconnect from a gearbox Causing car to slip out of 5th in A Honda Civic EP1 1.4L?
I noticed one day that there was oil underneath where the driveshaft connects to the gearbox. I said it to the mechanic, he said it was ok. Few weeks later the car popped out of 5th eventually it would not stay in. Mechanic said I would need a new box. He installed one and instantly it still popped out of 5th. The mechanic said that where I bought the box had not reconditioned it properly. I drove the car because I had to. A few days later the car didn't pop out of fifth. I taught I may have mended itself. (oil got into all the gears). To my disappointment the car popped out of gear again about 1000 miles later. I brought the car to the garage that I bought the recon box from, I had contacted them the next day after the box was installed and informed them of it slipping out they wanted to see for themselves. The took the car and said that there was Very little oil left in the box as the driveshaft was loose. They refused to replace it. My mechanic then changed the oil in the box. It stopped slipping out for about 100 miles. I check under the car and oil was coming out from the driveshaft. I brought the car to another mechanic. He said it will need a new box. He said the driveshaft won't connect properly. He also said the driveshaft looks fine. Is there any other reason why my drive shaft would come out? Has this ever happened to anyone before? Is my original mechanic to blame? *also steering is heavy in the centre. Pretty sure it's a rusty steering rack or joint. Maybe wrong
I ran out of words and had to shorten it abit. Just want to say thank you to anyone that reads this or has any idea what has gone wrong
What the hell does the steering rack or joint have to do with the gear box. SMH
if the axles keeps coming out then check to see if the ring on the end of the axle is still there. On the end of the axle, the part that goes into the gear box, there's a metal ring that locks the axle in place to keep it from slipping out. Or either the rubber seal is not good or wrong size and is letting the oil leak out around the axle.
- Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
- In my brand new car with all the computerized stuff, if I disconnect and reconnect the battery, do I have to reset the computer? I have a brand new, 2017 Honda CR-V EX. It has a bunch of computerized stuff that I old car doesn't have like blind spot monitor, tire pressure monitor, etc. If I disconnect the battery and reconnect it, do I have to reset any of the computerized stuff? Or can I drive it immediately with no problem?
- Would a bad input shaft bearing noise present during certain rpms while jacked up? My honda civic makes a loud rattle during certain rpms (2000+rpm) in 1st and 2nd gear, it does have a bad isb but the rattle i'm not %100 if it is related to the isb. Should the rattle/grind also be evident if the car is jacked up if it had to do with the isb?
- What would cause power steering fluid to leak out of an input shaft seal? Would replacing the seal fix this issue? I don't see why fluid is even entering the steering gear/shaft area anyways. I thought it doesn't. 2008 Honda Civic coupe
