Hey Mate, If you are willing to hang on to them for a little longer. He is very interested in them . His Mrs car just dropped reverse in the auto, so it needs to be fixed first.

Popped a seal in the auto , so out comes the box and replace the seal. That makes it 2 auto gear box's out of 3 auto cars that have had to have work done on them. It is a good learning experience . Learn learn learn..

The one the torque converter goes through. Or known as front gearbox seal.

Yeah, we are finding out. It has happened to all 3 auto liberty's so far. just got to two of them so far. At least once they done, we don't have to worry about them for awhile. Also it good practice.

Hey Rick.. yeah a fairly common thing on autos :( I found after going and talking to Transeals that there is an aftermarket seal that is rated a lot higher (temp wise) than the genuine seals. I can't remember the name of the product the seal is made out of but I used one in a friends car and never had the problem again :) Take the old one with you and they'll be able to sort you out ;)

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul,

I will have to see where the closest Transeals place is . Most likely Brisbane.

Find out what was wrong.. Not saying this is what happened . But what it looks like is, some one put the seal on the torque converter and hoped that it went in place when the torque converter was put on the box..Strange.

Well everyone we have had another mishap with Rosco's wagon. Unfortunately it was just us girls this time. On our way home from Nambour & Noosa the wagon decided to blow off some steam coming into Cooroy. Here we were just the Subie girls trying to cool her down but without any luck.
The whole point of this post is to say no one stopped to see if we were ok & it was broad daylight. Even though I know my share about cars this time I was out of my element. Luckily the Subie Boyz got a trailer from a mate & came & rescued us.
What is this world coming to.

Sometimes the seal gets stuck on the converter when the seal gets too hot and burns/melts itself on. I found when you fit the new one, put a small amount of silicone on the outside of the seal and a heap of rubber grease on the inside of the seal.

Yeah Lea it's horrible the world has come to this but there is those weirdos out there that pretend their broken down then when you stop to help them, they bash you and steal your car. Even heard of them using a couple of girls to get people to stop then the guys jump out of the bushes :twisted:

I hope you got it sorted and are all ok? did you find out what cause the trouble with the overheating?

Cheers,
Paul

Hey Paul,

I second what you are saying. Yar not wrong about the weirdo's . It is bad the way the world is turning out. Not that long ago , people could go out and leave there front door open and there was never a problem when you come home. These days people don't wont to work for what they wont , they think it better to steal it , or are just jealous of what you have and destroy yours , because they don't have one. End of my rant.

Looks like the head gaskets have decided to take early retirement. So we have a couple of other ej22's to put in to get the car going again , until this one gets what it needs to get going again.

Sorry Rick.. I did read that before but head gaskets will only go because something else has failed and unless that is fixed.. they will fail again. Not trying to be funny.. just making sure that you're not havng to do the job twice.
