6 Speed input shaft seal replacement
I have oil leaking from the bottom of the bell housing. I did replace the main oil seal when I installed the engine, so I think the input seal to the trans is leaking.
Is this part replaceable in the home garage? Does it sound like it could leak statically? I didn't drive for 2 months and it had to small puddle underneath. Oh, I changed the clutch slave too because it was leaking, so that's ruled out. |
I have read here that others have replaced the seal themselves but that is something that although I have done allot of work on my cars, I will not attempt. It is one thing to have the car up on a true lift and another having it up on jack stands and working on your back.

I would have to remover the trans to get at the input shaft seal. I did the output from under the car. I am wonder if there are two as the parts breakdown shows. And could it leak statically. |

The motor is from a recycler with about 100K on it. The trans has about 200K on it and is bone stock. I changed the fluid with synchromech fluid and change the right output seal because I thought there was a leak there (turned out to be something else).
