[QUOTE=Jasper7821;636095]Ok thanks, I had thought maybe that video was that shaft. I have the P/N of the seal from the other page and understand now and hopefully after a new clip and seal that nothing else is wrong gearbox wise and that’ll be it. I’m hoping rocks/pebbles/dirt didn’t go into that hole when the car went up the curb and slid through a few feet wide of decorative rocks .
Jasper,

I have never used a new circlip, these act as a 'spring' and just pop into the grove.. but I would install a a new oil seal..
