Ieat4strokes Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Checked tranny oil tonight for the first time since i put her back together (about 3 months ago) and oil was a grey color..... Besides water pump impeller seal and o-ring on tube is there anything else i need to check? Ive never had clutch case off either, what else should I be aware of or look for? Also need a name and number where i can order the seals, gasket and billet impeller while im in there.....Thanks guys Quote
Wildcardracing Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I would bet that it's the water pump seal. If the o-ring goes bad the coolant leaks on the upper case. The o-ring and clutch cover gasket would both have to go bad to get coolant in your oil. Quote
rubberneck Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Did you replace the clutch when you put it back together? Has it been slipping? Usually water will make it a frothy mess, kind of a coffee color. When my brother destroyed his clutch, it turned the oil a grey color. Just a thought. Quote
POORBOY350 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 mine had water bad in the oil last week i put a new o ring on the tube and it stopped the water gettin in my oil. i got an o ring from the hardware store lol. just brought my old one down there but just drain your coolant before you pull your clutch cover, and the tranny oil duh. just take the hose between motor off that lil tube and let it drain...i learned the hard way lol. not sure about impeller i know rockymountain atv would have it or anywhere probly Quote

2001Stroker Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Don't forget about the 2 breather tubes. Maybe water got in while you were washing it. Just a thought. Quote
Ieat4strokes Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 uwener - i think u need to know, if i ever ran across you id smack tha f*ck out of you! Now that i got that out of the way, i havent replaced clutches, havent noticed any slipping either. Also where i ride theres alot of water, we can follow a shallow (1-6 inches) rock bottom creek for miles if we chose and also about the pressure washing, Is there anyway water can enter my oil? i havent noticed my coolant going down, ive been checking regularly....but thanks for the replies, i tried to research this before i posted and found the common problem areas myself tho i still cant seem to please "uwener" what a name by the way.... who always seems to have a smart ass remark everytime i post, glad i grab ur attention......lol Quote

Don't forget about the 2 breather tubes. One under the rear motor mount, and one inside the water pump cover. They have rubber hoses that go to a "T", and then up behind the radiator. Quote
TJScott Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 i had this exact same problem last year, the oil was grey and nasty. its your water pump impeller seal. buy a new bearing because you almost always destroy them getting them out, and buy the seal, use a socket and put it on the outer race of the bearing, hammer it out, same with the seal, heat up the bearing and put the case in the freezer, drop the seal in and then the bearing.

MikeNick Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I'd change the water pump seal 1st..Same thing happened with mine and it was the pump seal..Also with that o-ring that goes onto the piece that stick through the case off the clutch cover, even if it did leak around that it shouldnt get into the oil, the clutch cover gasket goes around that spot.

BLA BLA BLA BLA size[/color]] Third talk about names "IEAT4STROKES" it should be DOUCHE BAG! Yo, i could possibly see how you couldve took my post on that thread as being cocky, arrogant in a sense.... but come on, you seem to be leaving out ALOT on that story.... I also stated that no one out there had anything wildly modified, i said they were piped 4 pokes....seriously any DECENT running banshee piped should kill a 450 if you can ride remotely good.... there was a 250r that looked as if it seen better days, and a couple blasters... 2 overweight guys on stock motor shees. The only competition I had that day was a piped, fuel managed looney tuned 700r..... he would stay with me every race... Claimed it was fast? compared to what? my competition....yes i sure was....Against you guys on here, NEVER said that.. Its a stock stroke stock port bike.... You should be glad i was handing thier ass to them instead your spending too much time disecting my every word. I never compared my shee to ANYONES on this site not even yours, and know that my shee aint sh!t compared to most of the guys here....do i get upset? NO, i love the sport, i love to race and love to see someone with a bad ass quad even if I get my ass beat. I will not turn down a race from anyone, seat time is the best time so you can only improve.... You do need to take some advice from fouledout and grow up..... if you have nothing to share, as i stated before dont coment, if you dont like me, even better.....fucc off! I came on here to learn and get help building my stock banshee from guys that know more about them than me....We all had to learn at some point and i shouldnt be bashed for asking questions or posting something up..... I do research before I post and that should count for something... also ive made over 100 posts from a cell phone gimme a little credit u nut hugging bastard! Quote
