Sounds like a bad axle seal. You'll have to remove the axle to replace it.
Check your transmission fluid levels. Look around for leaks...you'll see a reddish fluid around the drive axle on your transmission or around the radiator.
It's the oil/fluid that is in the rear drive axle (and front axle on 4x4).
The axle.
Axle seal is bad and needs to be replaced
Rear wheel drive...connects the transmission to the rear end. Transfers power from the motor to the rear axle. Front wheel drive... connects the transmission to each front axle. Usually refered to as CV or drive axle. Same purpose. The drive shaft contains the rod that takes energy from the engine and transmits it to the drive wheels of a car.
Yes , the transmission on a front wheel drive car is called the trans axle
Car has to be level on Jacks, and you will need a 8mm square drive to remove the plug. Where the right side axle goes out to the wheel from the transmission you will see a plug that the 8mm square drive will fit. Turn out the plug and fluid should just run out if its full. If none come out put your pinkie finger in the hole and you should get some fluid on your finger, if there is none you need to add fluid through that hole. You will need a suction gun to push fluid into the transmission.
A trans axle is a transmission and differential rolled into one in a front wheel drive vehicle. The trans axle delivers power from the engine to the drive wheels.
Cars with front wheel drive have a transmission that also acts like a differential, feeding the power to the outside wheel when going around a corner. This type of transmission is called a trans axle, because the drive shafts go directly from the transmission to the wheels.
They drop the pan on your transmission and flush the filter and then refill the transmission with fluid
Check the top of the trans axle, facing the car on your right , red cap that reads transmission fluid.
