Tranny Stop Leak???

Anyone suggesting using it?? I got a 00 5MT and its either the input shaft or the passanger side axle seal and i dont want to change them out just yet( holdin out for the clutch job) Its not a heavy leak just its wet under the tranny. Doesnt leave stain on the ground or anything. Just wondering what you guys think????

A little leak is no big deal. Just check the differential gear oil level periodically and don't sweat the small stuff.

if it doesn't leave a mark it isn't leaking very much at all. Mine leaves a little drop everywhere i go and it drives me crazy but i have been topping it off every oil change and it only takes about half a quart every 5000 miles. I would just get under there with a rag and wipe off whatever is down there before you go to tech and you will be golden

AT-205 Re Seal, It works very well .
Get the pour in stuff, Not the Aerosol can.
It fixed my output shaft seal and its been 4 months now dry, Since i cant get a new seal from work and the stealership is a 2 hour drive.

It says any type of oil except fuel, so it will work in a manual.

cool information. my M/T has drippage alonr the bell housing and overnight leaves maybe 2-3 drops, i kinda thought Lucas made some M/T seal, but i only see they have it for A/T.

I have used the Lucas p/s seal and wow that stuff works great! Used it in my old Sentra and after about a week the p/s drips were gone...


i'm gonna look into AT205 reseal
