This video saved me a $4000+ transmission replacement! I was told my leak was the torque converter seal but it was actually nothing but this simple fitting! It was spraying like an aerosol from two different spots on the pipe. Thank you so much for posting this!
Thanks for the video, had noticed trans fluid leak recently on my wife's 2007 Mazda 3i, took apart the air box and found exact same situation. Will order and replace same part myself in a few days.
@@chrisredfield3688 sorry it’s been a while and I forgot the parts name. I was researching on some of the dealers website and was able to match the shape of the part according to their diagrams
Thanks! not really maybe if the fluid was really low.... these cars have an issue with the shift line that runs from the gear selector to the trans or the neutral safety switch. The line likes to rust and bend at the selector on the trans check is and if its rusted hit it with WD-40
Hello and you’re welcome. These are the correct clamps we used and it’s still holding today. www.amazon.com/dp/B0936B45KR/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_R3FYFHGGXNJCN1RJ8C41?linkCode=ml2&tag=citykidsventu-20
Liked and subd! Nice to the point video. My 07 Mazda 3 just suddenly started leaking tranny fluid, I only noticed cuz I randomly check fluids and it almost empty but had no signs of low fluid. But anyway I appreciate the tips!
@@nicholaskendall7479 transmission fluid is also a lubricant and most deals list them all as “oil” pipes because they are all technically made of petroleum
Thanks... explains alot on my 2005 Mazda 3... though it was the transmission gasket seal...(explains was leaks often....car is at mechanic needs to get inspected anyway....
Nice video. My 2004 Mazda 3 hatchback is having a slow transmission fluid leak, haven't noticed any transmission performance issue though. I took out the undercover today and looked from below, the pan looks completely oily, the highest point of the oily mess seems to be at this fitting. I need to take out the air box and look from above. Did your pan bottom look all oily too?
@@DIYKAI thanks for the reply. Did you reuse the bolt and two washers or get new ones? I am thinking about ordering parts and diy this, but there might nott be warm days left this year for the job...
@@zyreno it’s a fast and easy job. We reused the bolt just make sure the little hole in the middle and side of the bolt is clear of rust and debris. We used new copper crush washers ( you can get them at the hardware store or harbor freight)
Ok So after checking the mazda5, this fix does not apply because the transmission on my car is different than the Mazda 3 in the video. Either way thanks for the advice!

Awesome! & You're welcome glad it was the fix we all need to save as much as we can in these times were in.

Your welcome, very simple swap good luck
Hey what is the fitting called if you don't mind me asking. I called mazda and they couldn't figure it out

You are a life saver!
Thank You!
Good video. Question about this cooler line, would this stop the tranny from going? Going into gear and go.

Hi, thanks for the video. I was wondering what spring clamps you use. All the one on Amazon are too weak.
Hello and you’re welcome. These are the correct clamps we used and it’s still holding today.

Is the leak from coolant fluid or AT fluid? Cause I have same issues but my coolant's color red. Dont know thr difference
Trans fluid coolant should be a blue base if I’m not mistaken
Does the new part come with the crush washers?
No it does not

What is the name of that part?
oil pipe link is in the description
@@DIYKAI if it is an oil pipe link, how does it cause a transmissjon leak?

My mazda is a 4 cylinder manual transmission is it still the same
Not sure this is for an automatic
do you know the torque for the banjo bolt ?
Good and tight lol… sorry I don’t
Thanks I appreciate the video that you put up. I'm right in the middle of doing mine now.
Your welcome I just snugged it up…don’t have to go crazy on it as there are copper crush washers just enough to squeeze them
Thanks for your help I appreciate it.
Your welcome!

yes, it will drip down the front and spray all over the pan

@@DIYKAI do you know the size of the washer? It would be great if you could add a link of the washer in the video description.
Should be a 1/2 or 3/8 don't remember off hand we used the ones from harbor freight that come in a multi pack
Do you have to drain anything before you change the hose pipe
Hello no you do not. A little fluid will run out of the transmission line when changing it but thats all.
Just make sure the motor is completely cooled off preferred to sit over night then its about a 15 minute job and your done
@@DIYKAI ok thanks because I was thinking it was the connection on top that was leaking
Yw
@@DIYKAI one more question how tight should the bolt be for the oil pipe
Thanks! I think my mazda5 has this issue. Do you have a part number for the replacement part? Liked and sub’d!
