T5 rear seal still leaking after install
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 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.
