I have a leak at the axle seal left side. It's a 5 speed manual transmission on the r52 convertible non turbo.

Reading online the axle seal can be replaced fairly easily after removing the axle, but I'm not having good luck finding the right part. A lot of places just have a part for auto transmissions.

Real oem shows 23117545082 as a fit, but Fcp euro lists that as not fitting 2006.


Mini parts direct doesn't even list an output seal for the manual


Does anyone here have experience with these seals on the r50 or r52 with a manual?

 

@ChiefM might know something since he just swapped in a 5 speed.

FWIW, Pelican Parts lists it as fitting. I have no personal experienced with it, however.

 

Is yours a getrag or midlads transmission? Thats what makes the difference

 

R52 base are all Getrag.

 

call Detroit Tuned and get one from them....that's where I got mine, excellent service and great prices
