1. whats the diffence in the 6 bolt 7 bolt oil casing?? because the one on my car that I got with the rebuild is leaking around the crank seal.. just didnt know if it had to be a mitsu or if i just have a bad one or something else is messed up.

2. I have put two new driver side tranny axel seals in and they both have leaked around the axel..I got one from auto zone and then a mitsu one..so I don't know if I need a differnt yr then 90..or if the axels are wronge idk

1: Alot is different with the cover itself. Did you make sure the seal was driven the whole way into the case? You lube it up before putting over the nose of the crank to prevent tearing?


2: Are you sure theyre getting you the AWD seals? the AWD and FWD seals are a bit different because the FWD seals with the CV joint butting up to it, the AWD just has the intermediate shaft that slides in it and seals it more or less on the inside.

yeah it was put on all the way...it leaks around the seal just alittle bit i have taken it off and looked at it and everything is fine other then the leak.if u take the T belt off and turn the crank with a wrench u can see alittle bit of oil coming out of the seal for the crank.just didnt know if it could be from something else.

and as for the seal for the tranny this is the one i got EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - OEM Axle Seal Front Driver Side : Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-99 AWD

Did yours have the metal outer ring like that one? Because its not supposed too look like that.
