rdougan · 08-07-2011, 12:00 PM

I replaced my clutch just under ~2k miles ago, and along with that, I replaced the rear main shaft seal in the transmission.

About 50 miles after I done that, it started leaking. So I replaced the seal again and made sure 100% that it was fitted properly.

It is now leaking transmission oil again. FML.

Is there something i put on the seal to make it stay in place? Some kind of glue/lube? And to stop it from leaking..

Thanks.
