- - leak issue (https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda6-20/leak-issue-34039/)

Hi guys I have a 2008 Mazda 6 that I bought. It had a bad transmission so I swapped it out with a used one I got. It ran perfect except now I have a leak. the trans leaks from the passenger side axle were the intermediate shaft goes into the trans. I replaced the trans seal 3 times and it keeps leaking. seems like the seals do not get a perfect seal all the way around the shaft. Any body have this issue before.

I have a 2008 Mazda 6 2.3L

this is the trans code on the used one I got.

Thank you any help is appreciated.

Are you sure your installing it flat & square? You need to be very careful when fitting the axle back in.

Yes im making sure its perfectly flat and it goes right in. I push it all the way till it clinks on something and is seated. Does it need to clip in or anything. It just slides back out with ease
