I just replaced axles along with all front suspension on 95 civic.

is it necessary to change transmission seals when doing this. It wouldn't be too hard to pull it back apart

 

if they aren't leaking, you should be fine.

 

my mechanic friend suggested I change them, so I bought these seals. Hope their the right ones, gonna pull away links n pop axels back out and try again tomorrow

 

I believe they are different diameters on each side. Inside diameter is the same but outsides I think differ for each side.





Please note the size variance pulled from Hondapartsnow.com

 

I looked on the Honda estore site, I couldnt find the 35x62
I'll call Honda tomorrow hope they have them in stock

 

Forgot to mention it's an auto, if autozone seals dont fit I guess I'll have to order from Honda

 

Automatic it's a touch harder to tell which of two seals it is on the torque converter housing side.







I'm not sure if the axle seal is 19 or 20. I was thinking 19 but they don't have the usual line to the location like they do elsewhere.

 

Ordered then from Honda today they'll be there tomorrow, 40 bucks for both, geez. They are different sizes each side

 

Here in BC Canada, they are 33 bucks each one from Honda. So after tax it's about 70 bucks for the set.

 

3 times I replaced axles, whether they were bad or that the car had way too many miles and didn't want to worry about them down the road since I was taking apart the suspension anyways.

2 times the seals leaked after 'carefully' installing the axles.

 

That sux, I've popped my axles in and out about 3 times so far on these new seals and still no leaks. If you pop the spring off by accident pulling or putting in the axle, it becomes a hooped seal.

 

I hope it seals good, I dont need any more problems
