Differential Output Shaft: Service and Repair
Differential/Transmission Housing Double Seal, Replacing
The following special tools and test equipment are required for this work:
VW 681 - Lever
3382 - Thrust piece
Notes:
-
A faulty double seal allows ATF or gear oil to flow through the center vent of the shaft seal (between the two sealing lips) into the torque
converter bell housing.
-
In addition, a faulty double seal may allow ATF to flow into the differential which causes the differential to be overfilled and fluid to flow out
at the breather of the differential.
