Rear Transmission Seal Replacement


Recommended Posts

Replacing my rear transmission seal (it's a five speed-model FS5W71B. Seal is from Motorsport Seal Part Number 32136-U0100).

Old seal disintegrated upon removal. Wondering if the inner metal ring (or band) should be removed as well (possible this is part of the old seal)?

(see red arrow in pic around 2 0'clock). Thanks you!

I think so.  A quick test is to compare the diameter of the new seal with the hole it needs to fit in to.

Better check your propeller shaft (aka driveshaft) slip yoke for damage.  The seals have a steel spring to maintain tension and when the rubber goes the steel wears a groove in the slip yoke.

Be careful straightening your dust seal (the external metal with the ding in it).  Don't pry too hard against the aluminum or use a drift pin and a hammer to knock it back in to shape.  You might consider just removing it, Nissan did on the ZX's.  The double seal was overkill, probably, or caused rubbing problems when bent, like you might have.
