On the top of my 5 speed the seal/bushing/thing where the shift lever goes into the transmission is leaking. I pulled it apart and the whole thing is a mess. So seeing how it is a tiny little part I went over to the local dealer to get a new one. Well it turns out that the seal and bushing and parts I would need are about $100. That is way more than I want to spend, especially for what I would be getting.

Does anyone have a busted Mazda tranny around they could sell me the part from? Has anyone else made their own bushing seal solution? I had an extra tie rod boot and jammed that on the shift lever as a short term seal but I would like something a little better.

Suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Tim

No one have a manual here?

I have replaced those seals (they were actually good in my case) with some metal frost plugs following instructions I found here.

If you say it isn't that bad then I will try not to worry, just don't like the idea of that seal leaking at all.
