atf leak after uluminium driveshaft install

[Dreamland]

Hey, i swap in my 98 V6 Camaro the LT1/LS1 aluminium driveshaft. That was easy, but after a month driving a have a atf leak from the automatik output to driveshaft.

I think the seal is bad and must be replace. Right?
Is this easy?

Remove the old seal with screwdriver
Put the new one in
Thats all? No extra blue silicone etc sealing?

And need i any other part as the new seal ring?

Look: That is what i get from my local shop here in germany. Is this the right one?

Never use blue silicone on these. You can remove it with a screwdriver, or you can use a bearing/seal puller, your call. Then you put that in, make sure you use a flat piece of wood to put it in, that way you get it in straight and flush, and you won't damage it.

and Yes. That is the correct seal.

OK thanks, no lube or fluid sealing on the outer ring? Only hammer in? Ok

yeah, hammer in, but just hammer the wood. you dont need to lube the outer ring because its a press-in fitting. you could always rub a ring of atf on the inner seal if you wanted.

There are so many jokes in this whole thread but I'll leave them alone

hahahah..

And for the record, I hate those kind of seals. I always f'd em up on the camshaft housings on trailer brakes.

its possible that the DS is out of balance. might have caused the issue. just a thought.
