What exactly does this transaxle differential housing reseal kit include for my Vanagon?

This kit is designed to help you reseal the differential housing on your manual transaxle. It includes all the essential seals and gaskets you'll need: two CV flange center caps, two differential bearing nut O-rings, two CV flange seals, one transaxle input shaft seal, and one bell housing gasket. It covers all the critical sealing points for manual transmissions from 1968-1991.

Will this reseal kit work for my 1986 Vanagon with a manual transmission?

Yes, absolutely! This kit is specifically designed for all 1968-1991 Bus and Vanagon models equipped with a manual transaxle, including the Syncro models. If you have a manual transmission in that year range, this kit will have the correct parts to address leaks from your differential housing.

I'm seeing some oil leaks around my differential. Is this kit the right solution?

This kit is precisely for addressing those kinds of leaks! It contains the necessary seals and gaskets like the CV flange seals, O-rings for the differential bearing nuts, and the transaxle input shaft seal, which are common culprits for oil seepage around the differential housing. Replacing these components with the parts in this kit should resolve those leaks.

Do I need special tools or expertise to install this differential housing reseal kit?

Yes, installing this kit requires specialized knowledge and tools. The product description explicitly states 'PROFESSIONAL INSTALL ONLY.' We highly recommend having a qualified mechanic perform the installation to ensure everything is done correctly and to avoid damaging your transaxle. They'll have the right presses, torque wrenches, and techniques needed for a successful differential housing reseal.
