i am having real trouble getting the rear tranny seal in my car.. first off i have the haynes manual and it doesnt show which way the seal is facing. i allready ruined the new one. so i have to buy another one

also i have 3 cables or wires i cant figuire out where they go.. i know one is a ground of some sort and i cant remember where it came off. the other one is a harness ground that is bolted to the very top of the bell housing. the other looks like a started cable .. but i allready have the starter cable and ground hooked up..

please any help would be greatly appreciated .

i will enclose some pics .
btw the car is a 91 na

thanks


this is one of the grounds .. i found it up near the slave cylinder

this is the harness ground comming off the top of the bell housing.. sorry about the blurry pic


this is the what looks like a power cable near the starter ,, only i have that one allready hooked up .. do both of these go on the starter or where do they go ???? please any help would seriously get this car on the road all the more faster

 

edit:: the guy from the parts store asked me if i moved the dust boot. well i didnt think it came out .. does it???? i need some serious help here

 

2nd picture is tranny ground, goes to the firewall
3rd picture goes to the back of the top starter mounting bolt... i think.. ill look at my car when i get home

 

Hurts my eyes.
First the little "capacitor", I"m going to call it, that's in your hand. Install under 1 of the bolts for the slave cylinder. Slip on is a ground slides onto tab under wiper motor. The seal is installed with the open side into trans. The seal should be facing towards the engine. That way when you slip the yoke through, the angle of the seal will stop fluid from passing by. If you've got a large socket it's easier to install. You just need to center the seal and tap very gently around perimeter to install. Can be quite tricky, and it'll twist as you've probably encountered.
Hope this part helps.

 

well that helps on a lot of things.. im still stressed about the seal . and ill take care of the stuff you guys informed me about

 

ok ,, i have put on the black capacitor , and the slide tab ground harness off the bell housing.. all i have left is that " power cable" thing.. i havent had a definate answer on this .. its short with not much slack ,so it can be to far.. i think that it will fit on the top starter bolt. so if someone can verify this ill finish that .. i just need to find out about the dust boot and the seal .. im going to give it a try again tonight after work

the big black wire is a ground, just screw it onto a bolt onto the engine. i used a starter bolt.

 

confirmed, (black with yellow stripe = battery ground)

Best to be on one of the starter bolts...

 

augh... after writing all that out i hit reset form instead of submit

1) Oil pressure capacitaor, ground it
2) minor tranny ground
3) Starter wire.
