UNKNOW part to me...

[NEWBMAZDA]

when i was puttin back the transmission together, i saw this part and took it to three different part store and they had no clue what it was. it was bolted to the inside of the transmission and and tip would just stick out. i broke the tip but i cannot figure out what it is...
does anyone know what it is????

[GDZKiNGDM]

I wish i could identify this part....(stoned) - and it sticks out you say??

[stdntDrvr]

contact prodigy...he's rebuild his trans a couple of times.

[NEWBMAZDA]

thanks and yes the tip sticks out

[terbow]

I think its to direct the trans fluid, like a channel or maybe a guide of some sort. Its obviously not meant to have any load on it. I could be wrong though. it happened once.

[NEWBMAZDA]

yeah thats what i am thinking but what is the name??

[GiJoe]

it looks like it's made of plastic, and it's fragile, so I woul say it doesnt carry any load...

[NEWBMAZDA]

it is made out of plastic

[GiJoe]

I'd agree with the coolant channel if it wasnt wide and ha those cut outs on one end.

he said it was bolted inside the tranny. coolant would be bad in there. lol

[NCZ13]

[terbow]

not coolant like the antifreeze, coolant like for directing oil to various locations for the purpose of cooling them...


take it to your local dealership parts department. they can help you out.

you have WAY too much faith in the monkeys behind the parts counter. every once in a while you'll get a good one, but don't count on it.

he meant coolant,as in antifreeze. its not really here not there really though.

word, theres only one guy at the dealership that knows about the MSP and it's a speed dealer... so I always call the parts department and ask em if rob is in before I go up there just to get in an arguement with them... been "escorted" out by the GM cuz I got in a huge arguement with one of the salesman when he asked me why I put a "gay wing like that" on a protege...

[Wagonbacker9]

I was speaking for me, not him. lol just extending the idea to something that wasn't quite so.... dee dee dee. lol

[GiJoe]

I didnt even mean to say coolant (scratch)... lol but yeah, wagon knows I make no sence when tired... but it could be his blinker fluid recirculating channel.

oh, i thought you were speaking for him. sorry, text fails to convey sometimes :) I really wasnt trying to point anything out or make a spectacle, i apologize to all if i did.

[Wagonbacker9]

no problems, all is well.

[GiJoe]

no worries here

[GiJoe]

why bother? ignorant people are happy that way... leave them be. lol

well I assumed a salesperson at a speed dealer should be educated in the MSP then something happend and yelling started and yeah. but I got the cup holder at a 50 percent off cuz Rob enjoyed me making an idiot of the kid...

[franciscoescn]

I don't know what its called but i got the part number for it from the dealer its G560-17-540A and it costs 38.39 with taxes.

i work in a parts counter.

I know the systems they use to look up parts, and if were to go there, he would be able to see where the part goes, as well as a name for what it is, which would hint at what it does.

should be able to do the same thing with a parts drawing of the trans, which is available online...
I in no way mean to insult you, but most parts guys look at you like you're retarded if you bring them a broken part and say "I need a new one of these, but I have no idea what it is or does"...

[DubbyDoo]

that part allows fluid to drop onto the gears to lubricate them if you don't have that in you transmission then your gonna have problems down the road

[Outlawstar98]

its Oil something........

Im looking for the part number/real name, i cant find the receipt hahaha

[Outlawstar98]

Ok its called a "Oil Tray" and thats it, I asked kooldino about it, and he said just call the dealer.

I look at customers retarded when they come in like that as well.

People dont realize how many bolts, nuts, brackets, mounts, filters, spark plugs, wires, etc are in a parts department. When someone walks in holding a broken part, puts it on the counter and says you need a new one of these, you cant do anything but stare at them stupidly. As if you have the ENTIRE parts catalog memorized for every single generation of every model. Just because someone comes in asking for example, a engine mount bracket, i usually need the VIN number for the car to find the specific part. Why you ask? because there could be several different parts numbers that pop up when doing a generic search for a car.

Perfect example. I had a customer call in asking for a new maf for an 01 sonata (i work in a hyundai dealership). I told him i would need the VIN, but he didnt have the car with him. I did a generic search for an 01 sonata, found the MAF and came back with two parts numbers. One for the 2.4, another for a 2.5. One of them was 282.xx dollars, the second, a lovely 537.xx dollars. And its not the dealership markup that is different, our costs for those parts are relative to how its marked up.

Now im good at my job because I am a car enthusiast, but most parts people are also good at their job, because they do nothing but parts all day. Looking stuff up for wholesale, or the techs. While they might not know EXACTLY what teh part does, they do know what it is, and where to find it.

It would not be that hard to go to a dealership, bring the part, bring the make and model (preferebly the last 8 of the VIN number) and say
"i broke this on my car, but im unsure of where it attaches or really what it does, could you pull up a picture for me so i can figure out what its called which might tell me what its for, as well as price and whether or not its a special order item?"

I can assure you if a customer came in and said those exact things, it would be the easiest transaction ever.

[NEWBMAZDA]

hey thansks all you guys for the help... i guess it is the oil tray that i will be looking for and thanks for the part number that will help a lot. Also i know they look at me like i am retarded but eh what can i do... thanks again

[speedracer]

it's the 5th gear oiler. it lubes the outer gears. you need to get it replaced
before you put it back together. I snapped mine off too when I was taring down my tranny too.

[NEWBMAZDA]

where do you think i could get it?

[speedracer]

you can try the dealer or I can talk to this Import shop near me tomorrow that deals with OEM parts from Japan

[NEWBMAZDA]

[speedracer]

mine snapped off when the wife stepped on it!!! argggg

[Outlawstar98]

I was told Oil Tray by both kooldino and my receipt

[speedracer]

so is it called the 5 gear oiler or the oil tray
oil tray is the correct name, but it's known as both

[NEWBMAZDA]

ok thanks i am on my way to the dealer

[NCZ13]

uh, its 6 o clock, i doubt the parts dept will stay open that late.

[Outlawstar98]

OK, This is what my repair order says :)

Quan. - 1.00
Part Number - G5601754
Description - Oil Sling
