Question:
Now it's leaking where the axle ties into the transmission. I took it back to the dealer who says it needs a seal where the axle goes into the transmission.This means I have to pay to have the axle taken off, a seal put in and the axle reinstalled. Shouldn't that have been put in as part of the original job? I don't mind spending money but I don't want to be ripped off. Thanks

It's not as simple as should it be done. Visual inspection is all you have to go by, and it's not always possible to tell if a seal may be faulty. Seeing as your car is 12 years old, most mechanics would urge you to replace the transaxle seal any time the half shafts or CV joints need work after about 50,000 miles, but it is an inconvenient and sometimes costly job to seat a new seal in many transaxles, and not a job you may wish done unless actually needed. It may have been O.K., and no indication it actually should be done, but simply failed when it did, without the repair causing it. It IS 12 years old, but it in it's self doesn't mean you were being ripped off, more like not being explained your options in this case.

that seal should have been inspected when it was pulled apart. the seal being replaced, isnt usually done when changing the axle unless need be.... but obviously "it need be", they might have messed it up putting the new axle in.
