My 2002 2.4 auto Z-24 started leaking trans fluid from the passenger side output shaft. Got a new seal, its the type with a new wear sleeve you push onto the drive shaft, and put it in. Couple hundred miles its leaking again. Okay I must not of had every thing square. Did it again. Same result. Took it to a neighbors small shop who has a lift, figured it was a assembly issue. He changed it out and noticed a crack in a cv boot so put a rebuilt halfshaft in it too. It held for one trip and is leaking again! It doesn't feel like there is any play in the out put bearing and I have cleaned the vent cap. It drives great, no vibrations or other symptoms. Not a small leak will leave a foot around circle on concrete. Right now I'm at a loss for what to do. Nice little car. Any Ideas?

 

Did you just buy this or have you had it?

Is there a special tool to install the seal?

 

I have had it for 5 years. Got it from my niece.

 

there is a special installation tool used to install the sleeve to the correct depth and a seal driver to install the seal to the correct depth.


if the leak between the sleeve and seal lip or trans case and steel part of the seal?

 

It appears to be between the seal lip and the sleeve. Any information on the tooling would be great! Thanks
