Seal care and transmission leaks
A main drive gear seal sits at the front of the transmission, where the input shaft meets the case. Leaks at this point often show as oil on the bellhousing or clutch housing rather than on the driveway. Since the seal and the input bearing are close together, a leak can also mean the bearing has started to wear.
Before replacing a seal, look for a worn or grooved shaft surface, which can make a new seal leak anyway. Check the transmission fluid level and condition, since low or contaminated fluid can be mistaken for a seal problem. Use a seal driver rather than a hammer, and check the seal lip for damage before fitting.
- Look for oil on the bellhousing
- Inspect the input shaft surface
- Check fluid level and condition
- Use a seal driver for even installation
