Transaxle leaks

[freshtiva]

Anyone have trouble getting new transaxle seals not to leak ? Ive had trouble with a couple of mine now when I used rebuilt halfshafts instead of new ones. Cant find the new ones so easy anymore. A guy I know that works at a tranny shop said they were having the same problem on some cars. His explanation was that the shaft wears a little where the seal rides on the shaft. When they remanufacture the shaft they knock that little wear spot down some reducing the shaft size right at the sealing point and therefore it leaks. Sounded logical. I hate leaks.

I got 2 rebuilt ones at advance and neither leak. Just make sure they are clean when you put them on. When I took them out of the box, they had what looked to be gasket sealer on them. Just my .02.

I've had the same problem Fresh. I took the remans back and got "new" axles. It stopped the leak. I can get new axles for $40. each.

WOW... that is a hell of a deal... Where at? Here the remans are $80 each with $20 core charge!

Commercial acct. Advance auto parts. There still is a core charge.

greg, by any chance have you ever priced out new axles for a 323 gt?

No but I can for you Mike. I'm sure they are close to the same. I bought one for a nissan murano the other day and saved 80 bucks....
