When I did my tranny upgrade/clutch and flywheel install in my '92 GSX, I replaced a CV shaft that had a torn boot with a rebuilt one I got from Checker. Ever since then, transmisson fluid has been leaking where the passenger side CV shaft goes into the case, and I've been getting a lot of vibration from that area. Yes, the axel was installed correctly. So then I installed a new seal, and it still leaks. What I'm wondering, is there any difference in the axels of 1G cars(to Checker, they're probably all ther same)? Diameter? Splines? The axel I got has the correct number of splines, I counted. Thanks.

You said its installed correctly but I would check again. Sounds to me like the axle is not all the way installed into the tranny.

Trust me, it's installed CORRECTLY. I learned the first time when the fluid just poured out. The axel is as fas as I can get it, its practically flush maybe 1mm of a gap at most.

if you pull on it does it come out more than 1/8"

no, it's in there TIGHT. It seems like I have the wrong splines or something, like I tried shoving the wrong spline axel in, and had to force it.

It must be a FWD axle or something. Count the splines on the new and old axles.

I have had similar problems before. If you drove on it with it not all the way in you have propably junked it. Putt it out and make sure the lock ring is still in good shape. they are easily ruinined. If it is jammed into the groove it is bad, if there are markes around the groove, it is bad. Take it out and look at it and make sure there isn't any damage as well as making sure it is the right axel.

ah crap. I probably got FWD axel from checker. SOB. I'll go to a yard and get an AWD axel. Thanks everyone.
