Anybody ever have this issue? Car is a 98 GS400 w/ 200K miles, wondering if the part/repair will be costly.

Thanks-

Is my mechanic selling me a bill of goods here? Is there such a seal??

He resealed my transmission pan a few weeks back and I noticed some slight leakage in the last few days. I thought it might be the pan again, but was told otherwise (shift shaft seal).

Cheers-

Doug

 

The shift shaft seal is the seal on the gear shift linkage that enters into the gearbox. Never seen anyone with a problem with that leaking.

 

Makes me wonder if I am getting the run around then. I am looking for a new mechanic but if his initial work was faulty, it was warranted. This just seems a little fishy to me. Thanks Justin.

 

I'm currently in the same boat as you; both my pan and shift seal are leaking and I can't seem to find the seal on Sewell's diagram... Would you or anyone happen to know the part number?

 

I looked on Sewell earlier too I couldnt find it I think summit racing has it for like $5

 

I googled it and found this--> http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,8648

PS-For a $5 part, wondering what labor will be??

 

I had mine replaced a couple of years ago at the local dealer; it was in the ballpark of $500 with parts and labor.

 

I know this post is super old, but I was recently told I have a leak and need to replace mine as well. I have searched for videos or post about it and this is the only one that I see related to a lexus. Does anybody know if this could be a DIY or is it too involved for an average car skills person. Also if anyone has a direction to where I can find a video or even know where this seal is located(lololol)

 

Lexus of Sarasota just quoted me $579.12

 

Go to Gulf Auto Clinic in Bradenton. 941-714-0042. They are honest and extremely competent. Less expensive than the stealership in Sarasota. Tell them Lexus Frank sent you.
