H22 tranny leak issue

cd8h22a · 03/27/2012, 10:09 PM

Just looking for some input, i have a boosted h22a in my 94 honda accord 4dr, I just recently installed a mfactory lsd and new seals. I installed the diff with a buddy of mine the resistance on the diff bearing pre load is 12 to 24 inch pounds, its was set at 16 inch pounds, so within spec according to honda. I got it all together and the pass axle seal was leaking, i pulled it out and found the seal pinched, i put a new oem seal in and it lasted for 2 weeks and its leaking again. keep in mind these were both oem seals, i took out the intermediate ( bolts to the block) i pulled up and down on the pass shaft and intermediate shaft to see if there was play in the diff causing it to move and strech the seal and leak, couldnt move it. Im lost for though at this time, maybe someone has a suggestion, think maybe axle issue? Thanks for any input that you have!

Are you driving the seal flush with the housing? Or going deeper? Are you definitely sure it is the seal?

it's the seal the 2nd one I put in worked for 2 weeks and leaked again! I just put the 3rd one in and it leaks too. I'm gonna take the axle back and try a new axle
