Went to work pulling the axles out to replace my axle seals in the tranny yesterday. As luck would have it, I pulled on the wrong part and ripped the boot on the drivers side axle. Ordered a new boot and I just went and got it.


Are the axle seals the only common place for dsm trannies to leak? Mine is completely dirty all over, and I have no idea where else the crap is coming from.

Spray wash it off or soak it in brake cleaner to get it semi clean and get rid of all the fluid and dirt around the seals then check for where its leaking.

Axle seals do tend to leak, the more times they are messed with, pulling the tranny in and out, replacing axles and such, the more they tend to leak.

Axle boots are simple to replace also, just rip the old one the rest of the way off, pull the clip holding the CV joint onto the axle and remove it. Clean everything up good, slide the new boot on, crimp the small band first, put the new packet of grease into the CV cup, slide on the axle, put clip back on, and tighten down the large band.

If you dont have the tool to crimp the bands, I do. Just let me know.

Alright, thanks. Go figure, the boot I got was for a 1.8 axle. So now I gotta wait untill Monday for the correct boot.

Same problem with the boot. Figured out I have a different driver's side axle. Here's a pic, can anyone help me figure out what it is? Once I figure out what axle it is I can get the correct boot and throw it back together.

I'm FWD too, so no intermediate shaft.

Did they give you the inner or outer boot?

Does the boot slide tight over the axle just not the CV cup?

Thats the inner. Dsm axle cups are Y shaped, this one is circular.
