Linkage seal leak, S4C trans
I've been trying to find & order this seal. Of course nothing is ever as easy as it seems.
Found a OEM "NOK" wtf is nok rebuild kit with the seal I need and a bunch I don't.
Any body know the individual oem seal part #
& is $75 fair for a shop to swap it out?
I know there's a bitch pin involved (the spring pin?)
Anything else I need for this job? Thanks.

I would suggest you pull your parts from any acura oem sites, or the honda oem sites. I believe the come with the rubber boot and the gasket you are looking for or they can be purchased separately.

Re: Linkage seal leak, S4C trans
The shaft seal part number from Honda is 91215-689-013 . It is readily available from your local Honda Dealership Parts Department. They may not stock it but they can order it and get it for you in a few days. PROPERLY installing one requires the removal and dis-assembly of the transmission... I find it unlikely that the shop you got the quote from is doing all this for only $75. I suspect they are only removing the shift linkage, prying the old seal out and forcing the new seal in without removing the shaft. This will lead to a leak just like you have now.

I recently bought a y21 b16 hydro lsd tranny from hmotors for my 94 gs-r. After about 3000 miles it has developed a slow leak where the shift linkage hooks up to the tranny. I can see the fluid accumulating in the boot. Im not sure if the leak can be fixed by an actual oil seal or if it's a honda bond made seal. My helms manual doesnt clearly show how to replace or repair a leak it that area. In my 94 integra manual the diagram is in the B18C1 Differental section which starts on page 15-11. I think that the seal in the clutch housing that is shown on page 15-13-- #3. If anyone has experienced this can you give me some input? Thanks guys.

I dont have that exact helms, but that leak is probably the seal. Its not a hondabond made seal but an actual rubber seal with a garter spring. i'm not sure if you'll be able to remove that seal without taking about the case because the garter spring might prevent that from happening, but its worth a shot.

This was very easy to do:
Drain the tranny. (The lower cap is a 3/4 insert.)
Pull back the rubber boot. Remove the clip and puch out the spring pin to romove the shift rod.
Use a flat-head screw driver to pry out the seal.
Insert the new seal. I used a deep socket to put over the rod coming out of the tranny and gently tapped the socket to push in the new seal evenly.
Remove the filler bolt and fill the tranny. (It is a hex. Metric #8 I believe.)
Check for leaks at the new seal.
Then the rest of the installation is the opposite of removal.
This took me all of 1 hour to do and I've never done this task before.
Good luck and I'll keep you posted on how well it holds up.
