Hello Fellow Mopar Fans /abusers --- Have a little Dilemnae ,,

My 84 Reliant 2.2 -may have an seal leaking on the Passenger side inside Transmission output extension ,where the CV axle fits in.


My local Mechanic pointed this out.


I just have to wash /degrease this area to find out ALL leaks.


Trouble is WHAT type of transmission does this Car have??? all I know its a 3 speeed auotmatic .


I do have the build sheet buried away somewhere.



regards -stu

The 3 speed automatic was called the A413, though some may use the later 31TH name for it as well though that naming convention came a few years later than your car.

I have a HARD time finding the Proper Name for this Part!!!!! When I go to Autozone or Advanced -I tend to get lost in the choices there are for this seal /gasket. Is it properly called " Transmission extension Housing Output shaft ??? -BTW ---- my Build sheet DOES indicate it is a A413 Transmission.

The official name for this seal is the output shaft seal. It is part number 4295904 which is superseded by 4412522-AB. Both part numbers should work for cross refrencing. It is also National oil seal part number 3459.

Stay away from AutoZone. The parts are subpar quality, and you'll probably end up doing it again well before you should have had to. I would go to NAPA for something like this.

OK - I did some calling /visiting Auto part stores. -Wound up using the Timken d3459 # At NAPA - and they sold me an SKF Seal ~ fairly cOMMON bRAND. EVEN THOUGH MADE IN mEXICO (what isn,t???).

To get that AXLE off -does One Have to remove the Circlip inside the Differential case???? I need some decent Black or Copper RTV for the Gasket.

I'm pretty sure there is no circlip on that 1984 automatic transmission axle half-shaft. It should just slide out of the extension housing (along with a little tranny oil, so be prepared with a catch bucket). The passenger side is the easier of the 2 sides to replace the CV axle seal.
