I have an 86 Ford Ranger with the 5 speed Toyo Koygo Mazda 5 speed transmission (2.4L engine). The transmission leaks at the point where the drive shaft enters through to the transmission spline - leaks right where the seal meets the drive shaft. I have replaced the rear output shaft seal (the one what has the rubber-like extension there at the drive shaft where I'm leaking).
I have also replace the speedo o-ring and the gasket where the shifter goes into the transmission. These two areas were identified as possible sources of the leak; perhaps simply leaking down the transmission. The transmission is in excellent shape, and shifts and performs flawlessly - it just leaks enough to splatter 80w-90 oil onto the tailpipe and the undercarriage immediately above and opposite the point where the driveshaft and tranny meet.
Is there a seal or something "upstream", perhaps inside/in front of the extension housing that I can get to and replace? I'm lost on what to replace, or if some kind of kit needs to be installed by a REAL mechanic. Thanks!
