Hi,

I just notice this from my car, it is an 2008 6MT. Are those hairline cracks? It is not leaking or anything, but I don't know if it is normal.

 

they all do that

 

*facepalm*

 

They all do that too

 

Thanks TeamRX8.

 

Sorry to revive an old thread. I wanted to verify that this is in fact "normal" and what the cause is?

I have the same hairline looking cacks on the starter housing of my 05 Shinka 6mt with 45k miles. I have only owned for about 8 months and have always been puzzled by these cracks.

I have done quite a bit of searching and this is the first image/post I have seen with the same issue.

Can this lead to further cracking of the transmission/starter housing?

Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

 

Still puzzled by this... Anyone?

 

Thanks Charles! That's the info I was looking for.
