yes there is a difference. Cable trannsmission uses a female end where the axle goes into, hydro uses a male end. not too sure about the seal issue.... I thought they should be the same but maybe not. Are you sure you did not push the new seal in too far? should be flush with the case.

MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAL YOU GOT IS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE NOT THE PASSENGER....
ALSO I RUN A HYDRO GSR TRANS IN MY EG WITH A CABLE INTER.SHAFT AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH LEAKS

did you remove the old seal? if so did you scar or crack the case when you did it?

nope a small prybar got it right on the edge of the seal popped it out. went to the store got one for a 92 gsr, went home used a large socket popped that one in put it back together.. took out the fill bolt topped her off. went inside for a drink and came back out side and there was a puddle of oil again.

Since the transmission wasent removed, the distance should be the same...The only scerario left is the seal is to far in the case. Don't you think

check to see what part of the seal the oil is leaking from...if its from the middle where the axle goes in just try a new seal...and when you put it in make sure you dont ride on it too hard when your slipping the new axle in....if leaking from the outside ring of the seal,make sure that you put the seal in straight not crooked...also are you sure thats where the leak is comign from?

alright well i looked at the half shaft and the seal i dont no why i did not check this before.. but the opening for the seal where the intermediate shaft goes in is way to big and that is causeing the leak. the oil is passing right between the axle and the intermediate shaft.. does anyone know what seal i need for a hydro half shaft and a cable trans?? or have any ideas??

im not sure if the seals are different between the hydro and cable trannies but i know they are side specific...the inter. shaft goes in the same way for both the hydro and cable so i dont think the seal is any different...you probably just got the one for the wrong side...
