CV Axle seal leaking from manual transmission…

[SDMAN1981]

I am getting leaks from both sides of Manual Transmission, where the two CV axles go into, and my question is which seals do I buy? I have to order them at Autozone.com’s website, because they don’t carry them in the store.

I’m getting several different results on their website and some say cv axle seal for “SELECTOR”, “INPUT” and “OUTPUT” Shaft, what is the difference of the three?

Here is the link to the seals on their website:

Is this the one I want?

Sorry if this sounds stupid.

Thanks.

They appear to be the correct ones for the output. If that’s your car. Why don’t you phone a location and ask so you know for sure.

It’s a 1991 Toyota Tercel 1.5 4 spd.

So what is the difference between Input and Output and Selector shafts?

[Bill]

I would say that the input seal is the front pump seal and the selector seal is where the shit lever goes into the transmission.

If referring to the seals that are on the side of the trans were the cv axle enters the trans I usually call them cv axle seals. if not listed that way then output shaft seal would be correct.

I noticed the part description in the link says right side (sitting in car) is the seal for the left side different?

[Bill]

Yeah…It appears that there is a right and left seal.

I highly, highly suggest using Toyota OEM seals here. I have experienced that some aftermarket Toyota Transmission seals are not the correct size and only the dealer has the proper size. You don’t want to wait to get these (mail order), then take apart everything and discover that your aftermarkets don’t fit and be stuck waiting to get some from the dealership…. Also, as good as Timken products are, this is something that buying OEM won’t break the bank…

All you have to do is call your local Toyota parts department and have your VIN ready….
