I have a leak from the axle shaft retainer plate, that bolts onto the transaxle. Does the whole back side of the retainer need to be covered by a light coat of sealer?
There's a 1/2" x 1/4" hole at the bottom of the transmission that gets covered by the retainer. The last person didn't cover the whole back side with sealer ( around that bottom hole was not sealed ) I was wondering if that is why it was dripping. The axle seal is not leaking by the way. Also what the torque spec. it's not listed in repair manual?
Thanks!
