well i recently replace my driver side axle. Went to drive it for awhile came back and parked . well i came back out then there was a puddle of tranny fluid. so we took it back out again to inspect and the seal was pushed in deep so we took it out and sat it flushed against the tranny like the manual says put everything back and it seems like it fixed it. well woke up this mournin and theres another puddle again . pulled it out again and bought a new seal but this one didnt have that lil circle spring ring with it ..is the that part needed wit ha aftermarket seal or is it that sombody didnt package it at the auto store?

plus would there be anything else that would make it leak. never had this problem before

setup is :
d15b vtec
dx tranny 5spd

 

bump before work

im confused about this s#@t

 

need the spring to seal the seal

 

Get another seal and when u put it in this time, make sure it sits flush with the housing. ( push the seal in just far enough that the seal goes in, not deep in there. Pm me if u don't understand

 

thanks for da replies ..this **** just been pissing me off because its my way to and from work. well i guess i will be going back to the auto parts store for another one and making sure it has all the necessary parts with it this time. hopfully everything works out and no more leaks

Exactly, it took me a while to figure that out and one transmission later.

 

well a not so good update i bought a new seal again , put it in flush like the manual says and is still leaking

could i just have a bad cv axle becuase i didnt have this problem before i changed it. the deal is i have had different trannies in the car but the old cv axle never had a problem except being busted

 

bump

 

what brand is the seal? i would use only honda or timkin

 

well im really thinkin its not the seal im starting to believe its the cv axle becuase i my old axle did nt leak or anything soon i do a basic axle change i have a leak with the NEW axle. im just wondering how they could mess on giving me the wrong axle becuase its fits perfect
