T5 rear seal still leaking after install

83 5.0 · January 5th, 2007, 11:21 PM

Replaced rear tailshaft seal on my T5, and it still has a very slight drip leak, nothing major but spots up the driveway. Is there another seal further in or is the drive shaft yolk worn?

Thanks

more than likely the bushing in the extension housing is worn.

Can it be replaced on the car or something that needs the tranny pulled for?

Thanks

It takes a special tool to do it on the car however it can easily be done w/ the extension housing removed from the car

What kind of condition is the driveshaft yoke in?

What should I be looking for? It doesn't seemed to be wore at the contact spots, but I guess it could be wore just enough to have this annoying leak.

The transmission and yoke were from different Mustangs, should this make a difference?

Make sure your fluid level is correct, I know youre not dumb, but anything healps, also make sure it isn't the speedo gear leaking, running down and ending up on the seal, that actually happened to me.
