- How to replace the driveshaft gearbox oil seal and how to top up the gearbox gear oil
The seal was £5.99 and the gear oil was £6.99 both delivered free from Ebay
The gearbox on this 307 1.6 hdi holds around 2 litres of gear oil..
you do not have to buy new gear oil as the old oil you have drained out can be used again..just use new oil to top up
The job took around 2 hours and no special tools were needed.. so it's a suitable job to be done by a DIY mechanic
Thanks for this. Have the workshop manual which describes the filling process (and confirms the air breather filling requirement) but the pictures aren't great so was looking for some real world visuals to help and you've done that perfectly, thank you.
Ben Carroll brilliant..glad the video helped you out
Good straightforward explanation. Now I know what my garage should do and wont let them rip me off with new gearbox oil.
Thanks for watching
I changed the shaft seal ring two times. It still leaks. Have no idea what else I can do. 😢
People , good video, warning if u use thinner gear oil in there, it may come out the seals, its like water,... use 85/90 , not low viscosity....
Got this same issue on my 206 2.0hdi. I just ordered the seals. On the 206 its easier to get access to fill up the gearbox.
The gear oil filling point is actually on the end of the gearbox behind the nearside suspension leg remove the 19mm bolt then with the vehicle on level ground fill until it seeps out of this hole then replace the bolt
conrad198025 Hi not on this gearbox
Think Conrad is right alright, according to Servicebox it's called the "gear-box filler cap" (dv6ted4 engine). But a lot of people don't use it because it's more awkward since it's on the side instead of the top. It's probably better to do it that way though since you can't overfill or underfill. Or you could always just use the breather to fill it, and just remove the filler cap so that it leaks out when it's full.
joe o sullivan ..I understand that.. but not on the gearbox ..This is the only way to fill it
Good upload I will now tackle driveshaft seal on Ford c max with a bit more confidence 👍
I like watching car repairs. nice one Andy :)
Thanks buddy and thanks for watching
Hi, I have a 207 1.4 hdi. It's been making fair grind noises whilst driving like from the gearbox. But other day I was driving and it would not go in gear. Towed it home. Now it changes gear when engine is off and starts in gear and drives but won't change while started! I googled the oil, put 2 litres in. It then drove spot on! But when I done full lock it made grinding noises, like teeth grinding, even more when I turn lock on 1 particular side . Anyway then gears went stiffer and i looked outside and it's leaking oil! Do you think it's this seal? If so how much and is it easy job? Thank you
Hi its very difficult to diagnose your problem without actual seeing the Car..I would take to a mechanic to look at, then maybe you could do the repair yourself, if you have the knowledge on how to do it..or let a garage repair it for you.
@@BitsPieces I'm hands on, I can change the seals easy. But I wanna know is it the seals that can cause my problems as mentioned? Thanks
Hello mate my girlfriend has just spent a lot of money to get a new clutch and the person fixed it it come back and the driveshaft seal had gone and leaked the gear box went two days later so she took it back to him and he put a new gear box in witch she paid for and his labour then got it back now the drive seal has gone again it’s 107 petrol do you no how much it will cost to get it fixed please
HI, you would be best phoning around a few garages for quotes.. the seal itself is only a few pounds, it's the labour cost that are the main cost.. I would say it's a couple of hours work for a well equipped garage.
Any tips on how to remove the battery tray? Is it the bolts and hex screws on the bottom?
Hi from whst I can remember..yes and maybe a couple underneath.
@@BitsPieces what a faff, but I can see the top filler cap. Is it plastic or metal. I might try get an extension bar in there and feed a small pipe in.
If I remember you unscrew it
@@BitsPieces I couldn't figure it out so I did it in situ with an extender bar and tube. Worked a treat.
@@BitsPieces Ps thank you for your vid as it helped me figure it out 👍
Thanks for the correction.... l guess l missed that one.... please clearify if the vehicle was still drivable before the repairs. A mate is having a similar prob. With oil leak from the turbine joint to e gearbox and vehicle doesnt move.. i.e., gears not engaging.... could this be similar? Any advice on this?
Kai Salminen I don't understand what you are asking ie the turbine..The only problem with this car was oil leaking from the driveshaft oil seal and when stationery oil was dripping on the the road when the car was parked up
If i take out a little right side driveshaft from gearbox oil must leak?If no leaking i have a tragedy dry gearbox? Its about 1.6 tdci focus. Is it diffrent manual gearbox Than 1.6 hdi i think no if is it same engine.
Hi,yes it is the same engine ..the gearbox should have a filler plug undo that and a little oil should spill out,that shows there is gear box oil in it and at the right level..if none does spill out it might need topping up..it's very rare that a gearbox as no oil in it under normal use ..unless it's lost it all, via a big leak or cracked gearbox casing ..the shorter drive shaft is the one I think you have pulled out..that as a very long spline on it if you have not fully removed it that could stop any sings of oil showing too
GREAT VID HAD MY C4 GEAR BOX OUY TWICE BECAUSE OF BUYING A REPO CLUTCH TRUST BEAR FOR THE SEMI AUTO BOX FROM AMAZON NATIONWIDE CLUTCH DISTRIBUTORS BLACKPOOL DO NOT BUY FROM THEM STILL TRYING TO GET MY MONEY BACK , SOME HOW DAMAGED THE SEAL THANK FOR YOUR HELP
glad the video was of some help for you
Hi mate, do you know if this could possibly throw oil up onto the back of the engine when driving at motorway speeds? My car keeps leaving small drips of oil everywhere and i've replaced: Rear main seal, head gasket and rocker cover gasket but there is still oil dripping from the car and it's hard to determine where it's coming from. the engine block is in almost mint condition and the back of the engine is wet with oil near where the gearbox joins
stevob211 Hi, it would actually not throw that much oil up unless the gearbox driveshaft oil seal had really deteriorated ..you will see oil around the inner driveshaft cv joint and after the car was parked up oil drops on the floor directly under it..It's an hard one to call this as I can not actually physically see your car..If it's really bad I would take it to a garage so they can have a proper look up on the ramp
Bits & Pieces thanks for taking your time to reply, sadly I've been to 2 mechanics and they all say different things which have all been fixed, my first mechanic now states there is no oil leaks when there clearly is! and the only time I do see oil is once I've parked up and one or two drips drop from the car
stevob211 ..if you look at the start of the video you will see how the oil as been coming down the gearbox and then dripping on to the floor..It is clearly visible so very obvious to diagnose it was the gearbox driveshaft oil seal.any good mechanic would spot this..wherever the oil is coming from on your car may only be happening at high revs..so its a case of getting it up in the air ..someone then getting in to Rev the engine at about 3000 and seeing if any oil is coming from somewhere...
Good job
Thanks
No level plug is stupid. Even if you in theory never need to change the oil, there's moments when you need to top it up. I pulled out the drive shaft a bit too much during a wheel bearing change, and a few gulps of transmission oil poured out before I could push it in again. Now I've got no idea how much to add.
Agreed..
Nice video.... would be nice starting your video by telling what the symptom is/was.... in this case does the transmission stop shifting? Was the vehicle driveable at all? What was the observable symptoms??? Good work anyhow...
Kai Salminen I did start the video with what the problem was..It was a leaking driveshaft oil seal ..The video shows how I changed it
No, adding grease won't keep the "clunking" down.
This is not correct filling method. There is a level screw on the far end of the gearbox use that not a dumb advise
Grease is not being adding ..do you mean gearbox oil..the level screw as you call it, is not on this model of gearbox, so your advice is dumb..
Grease in the CV joint won't fix the clunking. That's f**ked...new one needed. Cable tie will last about a day if your lucky. If it's a BE4/5 gearbox - which it is- it has a filler/level plug accessible from the wheel arch. 19mm socket needed.
Hello, how did you remove the battery tray ?
ProSlam Hi, yea I did remove it..It gives you more room to get to the breather/filler plug ..thanks
@@BitsPieces Yes,but how ?
By undoing the belts that hold it in place, once the battery is removed..
@@BitsPieces Thanks,mine was different,remove 2 x 10 mm bolts at front and slide tray forward.
Why put in the old gear oil... There could be dirt or metal partials in that
You can change it you want....but it does not wear out the same as engine oil.. it was but through a fillter in the bottom of the funnel to take out any bits..if there were any... if in doubt check service manual.
good job mate
Thanks mate and thanks for watching ..
You do not fill them through the breather they fill up on the side of the box
Depending on the gearbox fitted
@@BitsPiecesis it a 6 speed then, because the 5 fills at the side
@@pauladamspatch7120 some of the earlier 5 speed as you say could be filled on the end of the box in the wheel arch, newer ones do not have this bolt for filling.
