had some issues with my tranny so i changed the fluid now it is leaking. only un did the fill and drain plugs, used some kind of sealant that i had around but it is leaking now . what kind of sealant or thread lock can i use to cure this and where can i get it from? thaks in advance.

 

where is it leaking from... the bolt?

 

yeah more belive the drain bolt. but i took off the fill to fill and the drain to drain. so what sealant or thread lock can i use? got some stuff at home called loctite and it is medium strength. did not use this previously.

 

Loctite is not a sealant. Try honda bond or grey silicon, but only after draining and cleaning the threads really good with brake clean.

Do you have the crush washer on it still?

 

i know, loctite is a thread lock. will try some of that honda bond. is that a dealer item? really silicon would work? crush washer? you mean the washer you get when you buy a honda oil filter to put on the drain plug? if so never recall seeing one. just to clear things up i mean i was draining the transmission fluid from my manual transmission not the oil from the oil pan.

anyone else?

 

need to make sure my manual tranny fluid will not leak from the drain plug and scatter oil all over the place like it has. so guys on TR what can i use to prevent this from happening again?

 

There should have been a crush washer on that plug, you need to get another one and see if that works

actually, as i recall, and according to the honda parts catalog (items # 22 and 23) there are washers on both the fill and drain plugs.

the OEM bolt, with the washer, torqued to spec, should NOT LEAK at all. if you need to use gasket sealer, you either need a new washer, or your bolt is not tight enough.
