ISB seal question...
D16z6 5-speed
How bad does it need to be damaged to start leaking?
I recently replaced the ISB in my tranny and while sliding the mainshaft back in the teeth on the end clipped the new seal and tore it a little on the inside on the side of the seal facing up towards the shaft. I needed the car ASAP and installed the tranny anyway. I know the obvious is that I should have replaced it again while it was out but I didn't have time to wait a few days for the new one to be shipped. It's been 2 days since the repair and there haven't been any leaks as of yet.
Is it gonna get worse overtime and am I looking at a future where I'll be dropping the tranny again soon?...

Pointless maybe, Ive seen worse questions.
I just wanted to know how much wear it takes to leak. Like those who have pulled a leaking one out maybe they could give me insight into how bad it looked.

ummm.. i fix honda's all day every day and when i take one out that leaks i don't look at it, i throw it away.
seals are changed for age and brittle rubber. no one can gauge a cut and how bad yours is going to be.
