where to buy/part number trans seal

Does anyone know the part # for the drives side trans seal on a 95 5spd non lsd transmission? Mine is leaking and i need to get one. Autozone doesnt have a part listing for it either.

Thank you

Assuming you mean the axle seal, it's 38342-03E00, $7.52 @ Courtesy.

Autozone has it, Timken PN 710118.

That autozone part number says it's for the automatic. Are they interchangeable?

The part number I listed should work just fine for the 5MT, driver's side.

Check for play in the axle before you waste your money on that seal. Usually when they start to leak, it's a pretty good indication that your diff. bearings are worn.
A very common issue with the 5MT trannys. Replacing the seal usually doesn't fix the leak.

The part number doesn't mean anything without a manufacturer. Also, assuming you've got the original trans in your car (and it was originally destined for Canada) then you've got a VLSD, which has a different seal.
