Cool Axle Seal

Hello,

Replaced the CV joint axle shafts a few weeks ago on my 97 Accord, AT.

The right side (passengers) axle seal where the new shaft goes into the tranny started leaking some fluid.

Bought a new seal today from Advanced auto, and was surprised to see the seal (made by National) is all plastic with some rubber.

Not sure what is in the transaxle now, but I was expecting a metal/rubber seal.

Has anyone used these seals, or should I go to the dealer and get a better seal if this type is not the best to use.

Thanks!!!

Desert,

Went to the Honda dealer today and bought the seal, a little more money but better quality for sure. It seems for some parts it is ok to go to the local parts store, but for others you should go to the dealer.

Thanks!!!
