i have the 404v auto tranny. i had new axles put in and theres no prob with the pass. side. but the driver side was leaking fluid before i bought the new axle where the axle goes in the tranny. i have went to a couple of auto part stores trying different axle seals that pull up in there computer, but with each one it doesnt fit correctly and still leaks. now is it a dealer only part or is something missing on the tranny itself. a lot of people say that the seal is supposed to be tapped in but theres not a tight fit for the seal to be tapped in and hold. when the old axle came out there was no old seal. only a spring that was in the seal. my tranny has a black flange on it. when you stickthe axle in it would be like a bullseye on the flange. thats the part thats too big for the seal to be tapped in. could someone please tell me whats going on or show me a pic of the flange with the driv. side axle out and what the seal is suppose to look like or give me an exact part number. i just dont want to burn out my tranny. thanks

Want exists. Experience tells me to shut up (...out like snowman)

On japanese cars its generally better to buy axle oil seals from stealership: prices are often equal, parts number knowledge is better.

well thanks wiking. that what i did today. finally got the right part plus it was cheaper than the wrong part they've been selling me. thanks

Good it worked

Never understood the stealership glob all -policy: here they could charge 2 or 3 times more, and customers still would be happy. Eh no.

But thinkabout front shocks: 500$ ONE piece (=1. he he here). Whom are they gonna sell em? Millionaires? How many millionaires there are in scandinavia, how many drive (or are driven) in -93 maxima???

...sucks any way u think of it. And btw, this is not nissan specific, its all over.
