Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil on Flywheel

[Six_Man_Diesel]

I was coming in from Waco yesterday, when I noticed my clutch slipping slighty, I also have recently noticed a leak that looks to be my rear main seal leaking, or the front seal on the transmission, one of the two. Has anyone else had a problem with oil getting on thier flywheel or pressure plate?? Will it ruin my clutch if I don't fix it right away?? It only slips in 4th and 5th when I really get on it.

Figured out that it is transmission oil that is leaking, guess I have a seal out on the shaft. No HP for me till I get a chance to pull it and replace it.

When you pull in down... might as well change the rear main seal in the motor! I did mine when I did the clutch. It has just started to seep at 187,000... .

Yeah, I'll go ahead and kill 2 birds with one stone

I gotta replace a synchronizer too.

I lost the frot seal on my trany ( it took out the clutch also ) cost me about $1100 to fix the thing, all for a seal that cost only $11. 00. I was pi$$ed and Dodge would cover any part of it.

The oil took out your clutch?? If so, how did it do it?

If the friction material gets oil on it, it slips and you can't clean it out.



(Edit)

I bought a GPz a bunch of years ago, it had leaking fork seals. The front brake pads looked to be a bronze metalic material. Since I had no $ and enough time, after I fixed the seals I tried all kinds of things to get the oil out. Nothing worked and I replaced them. Then they worked OK.
