CRX SiR B16 Transmission Question - Shift Rod/Selector Rod Oil Seal
My 1990 CRX has an oil leak. I raised the car and looked underneath and noticed oil leaking from a rubber gaiter that connects the shift rod to the transmission. I understand from the Haynes manual that there is an oil seal there.
My questions are:
1) Are leaks from this seal common on an 11 year old car?
2) How do I replace this oil seal?
3) What is the part number? Is this seal the same as that of the D15/D16 transmissions? Thank you.

I went through the original shop manual but I can't seem to find anything on replacing this seal thus it must be something rare or easy to fix. I don't have the CRX SiR parts catalogue at home but I will check it out end of the week when I visit my dealer.
P.S. a replacement seal will have to come from the same type gearbox regardless model.

Answers:
1. It's not exactly common, but I've heard of it happening to a few other people before (including myself).
2. Replace it by removing the shift arm through what is lovingly referred to as the "bitch pin". (You'll understand when you have to take it out...a punch & hammer usually work best). Once you get the shift arm off, just take a flat bladed screwdriver & lever behind it until it pops out. Be sure not to scratch the metal shift shaft that comes out of the tranny. While the seal is off, look at the metal shift shaft and see if it has any corrosion on it, that's what usually causes the seal to go bad is all the corrosion dragging past the seal over & over. If it is all corroded, get some steel wool or the like & clean as much off as you can. After it's all clean, slide the new seal over the shift shaft and tap it into the tranny case using a suitable sized socket & hammer.
3. Not sure of the part number if it's for a B16, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they SHOULD be the same for all B-series trannies, so go to the dealer & get one for a B16 Del Sol, it should work perfectly. It's around #2 on this picture:
