old McD Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 My next project on Sarge (1983 DL 4wd manual 4 speed) is pulling a front axle to take care of a torn CV boot (i read a lot of negative reviews about the split boot repair kits.) There is an oil stain on the transaxle there, likely representing a minor seal leak. So i fugured that as long as I have it torn abart it would be a good idea to replace the sea. lBefore i get into it, are there any special alerts or tricks to be aware of for replacing the transaxle seal?

987687 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Oil leak coming from where? If it isn't leaking enough oil to constitute topping it up all the time I'd leave it alone. If you're talking about the diff seals it's actually a fairly involved job. I'd just ignore it... Here's an old tired transmission I was running until it lunched the input shaft bearing Granted, a lot of the oil by the dipstick was probably from me spilling it, but hey. You get the idea...
