Subject:      Question about Tranny Oil out of the CV
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi Gang,

I replaced the CVs on the passenger rear of my Syncro
where I had been hearing crunch scrapes and wheezes.
I figured that the CV was dry and gone.  I pulled it
all appart and there was still some grease but the
bearings fell out very easily on the outer CV.

The inner CV was real juicy with lots of black oil.
Could it be Tranny fluid maybe?  sure looked like it.
I cleaned up all that I could and noticed that the
little plastic cap in the center of the axle, over the
circlip was cockeyed. I pushed it back on and mopped
up the juice.

Is it normal to have transmission fluid in the inner
CV or is there a leaky seal out of the differential
housing?

Thanks all,

Joel
