XRdevil Member 5 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Posted 14/03/09 03:04 AM Share Posted 14/03/09 03:04 AM Hi everyoneWould anyone tell me how much would it cost to get the oil leak fixed from the gear box. I think the seal has got busted and all the oil has drained out. I managed to park my car in the local ford dealership and will go there on Monday to get it fixed. Also what other potential problems should I expect now that the seal is broken. Would it have affected the transmission since I had to drive the car to the dealership for a fair distance with the oil leaking. Its a 2003 BA model. Any suggestions on what other things I should get the dealership look into while am there with regards to the driveline.Any tips much appreciated.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55663-gear-box-oil-leaking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all started at the car park. I felt the car was taking too much power to even move. The revs was going so high but still the car moved like a old lady. I called the NRMA roadside assistance, the guy had a look and said that yep its a seal burst.

If the box is low on oil nad you drove it for a while there could be damage resulting from over heating. The cars are fairly smart though and will go into limp mode if there is a major issue.See what the boys at ford have to say about it and go from there Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55663-gear-box-oil-leaking/#findComment-841830 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking, if the whole gear box needs to be changed, would this be a good time to upgade to a 6 speed transmission.

XRdevil Member 5 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Posted 18/03/09 09:19 AM Author Share Posted 18/03/09 09:19 AM Well got my baby fixed yesterday. Phew...the tranny is a ok, but had to change the radiator, coolant tank, and coolant pipes. Oil got into these. Cost me $1200 but atleast its now all good. I am just a bit weary now since it has done over 100000km. What other things should I look into immediately. Also I have a few mods done, upgraded on intercooler, exhaust capa tuning. What other upgrades should I do to support these. I know I have to upgrade on fuel filter. Any suggestions much appreciated.
