5 speed leaking fluid

clear or red?

is the fluid clear or red? if it is clear and smells like brake fluid its the clutch slave. If it's red and looks /smells like ATF (auto trans fluid) the front shaft bearing seal is leaking........or its motor oil and the rear main seal is leaking.
Good Luck,

where whould i get a front shaft bearing seal? the rear main seal is new and the fuild is leaking red so it is the tranny. how hard is it to change the seal? i know the tranny has to come back out:rolleyes:;)
 
I buy all my 5 spd parts from Southern Gear but Ford may still carry the front seal. You'll have to pull the tranny to replace the front seal. It is a nonpress fit in the front end cap. There are 6 bolts that hold it on. Real easy to replace once the tranny's out.
