Hi,

I recently had my engine mounts on my 97 accord replaced because the axle on the passenger side had become dislocated and was leaking.. The mt housing had grime on it an looked wet from time to time but i didn't pay any mind to it as I never saw excessive leaking, I used some b33 degreaser on the housing before I went and got my mounts replaced to see if it was leaking from the housing but couldnt find anything until i messed around with the car after the mounts were replaced.. MT SHIFT ARM - SHIFT LEVER Honda OEM Parts -- 1997 HONDA ACCORD for 2DR EX - Manual All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal Sooo.. anyway the leak is coming from the dust/oil seal #15 on the list which goes on the select lever. I need to remove the housing but have never done this before.

I have a cd7 shop manual, in the trany disassembly/assembly section it say's I have to put the shifter to Reverse, remove the select cable... ( it goes on to the rest of the trany removal..) then continues with the housing repair.. the manual says I can remove the shift arm cover (mt housing top) with the trany still in the car. as long as the trany is in reverse and the select cable is diconnected there should be no mechanical movement inside when I lift the cover. right? I don't want to lift the cover and hear some kind of clank that I won't know whats happened.


Also the manaul refer's to liquid gasket pn 0y740-99986 but i can not find any reference of the pn on any site. all I keep finding is honda high temp liquid gasket which does not specify that it is pn 0y740-99986
I know it may be a stupid question to you all but Im not a mechanic and I've heard of other types of liquid gasket having aluminum eating acid in them...

Moved your post. We don't accept posts in DIY section. Please read posting rules.

good luck

 

Part number 0Y740-99986 appears to be a superseded Honda part number overseas (i.e., not Honda America part numbering). In the U.K., the superseded Honda part number is 08C70-K03-34M, Silicone semi liquid packing or liquid gasket.

In the U.S. there is HondaBond HT (High Temperature) silicone liquid gasket. Honda part number 08718-0004. I didn't find any Honda America recommended sealants that has the description silicone semi liquid packing.

Some people use Permatex Ultra Grey as a substitute for HondaBond HT silicone. Note:HondaBond 4 is not the same as HondaBond HT.

 

Thanks for the reply, sorry about the post.

So which would you suggest, permatex or honda ht?

 

From what I heard of people that tried both, some people prefer the Permatex while others prefer the Hondabond HT silicone.

The ones that preferred the Hondabond said its a thinner consistency than the Permatex, which made it easier to work with than the Permatex.

 

k, i'm gonna keep that in mind.

Thanks for the input!
