yo i just did my first motor swap and every thing went fine untill i went to put the drivers side axle back in. The axle went in just like it should and poped in place but i noticed a 1/8 inch gap so it dident look like it was sitting in right. after taking the snap ring off to see how far the axle goes in with out it, i noticed that it was the same gap. I looked at the other side and it goes flush with the tranny, is this normal? Also it leaks like a son of a biach from where the seal goes so i replaced the seal . Nothing changed it still leaks. Please help!!! also how much and what kind of oil should i use fo the tranny, oh yeah its a 97 dx hb manual trans with a zc(jdm d16)Please help!!!

dude its all the way in i cant put it in any more, it lockes into place. I know how to put an axle in. I have no idea why it would keep leaking oil i changed the seal even though the old one was still good, could i have pushed the seal in to far? I thought you were saposta push the seal in till it bottem outs
