Tranny Leak

Hi guys,

I've been noticing oil stains under my car so I popped under to take a look and discovered a little hole(?) in the underside of my tranny with tranny fluid dripping out of it. I'm not sure what's suppose to be covering/plugging the hole... so I need some expertise.
This is a n/a tranny.

Here's some pictures of the hole:



Thanks!

Im guessing its an manual since I dont see a transmission pan.

If its leaking from that hole that you mentioned, the only way oil will drip out of there is from the front seal of the transmission. Youll probably need to replace it.

Yep! Input tranny seal. Buy it from RacingBeat, they have a great pice on the kit!
This seal sits inside the front cover.
Pop off the front cover and pry the seal out using a screwdriver.
Don't use any RTV on the new gasket.
I have a '90 NA and the front seal I ordered from Mazdatrix, 74-92 (all manual trans) Part#16-1030-0603 did not seat completely in the front cover.
The correct front seal that fit my vehicle was the front seal for the 92-95 Part#17-1030-H501.
If you have a s4 model, don't worry about it, the first part number will work fine.
