Thanks for making this video, it's very helpful. I have a question; is the shifter shaft keyed so that you can't put it on backwards? I was a little nervous you didn't mark it before knocking out the tension rod.
Hello. Thanks for posting this video. I have the same problem with my mazda. If I have the same leak, do I have just to change the oil seal or do I have to change also the little bearing? I saw that you changed the little bearing but would like to know if that is necessary to solve the oil leak. Also, what did you use to remove the oil seal and bearing respectively? Thanks!
Do you have a part # for that plastic bushing you said to "not lose"? Mine broke from being kinda brittle and falling apart when reassembling. Now the shifts are all difficult.
Yes I would use a screw driver pop the seal out then clean the alum area if it has any corrosion hold it upside down and clean it making sure nothing goes in the bearing and you can use soap on the face of seal to help it slide in better and use a socket to press it down
Thank you so much for this video! I own a 2008 Toyota Rav4 D4D 6 speed and it was almost exactly the same! Like 99%
Thanks for the video! Followed it today to help me out when doing this repair myself, all went very smooth!
Please tell me the exact name of that seal. Someone gotta kno

Did you find out this issue ? I have the same problems as you.
I'm about to do this on my speed6 but I'm afraid of assembling something wrong. Does it only go together the one way?
Is this how you fix the issue with the shifter "popping" out of gear or some other issue?

Did you ever find the part number for this? I experienced the same thing!
How long did it take to do this repair?
Francisco Alsina I would say about 2 hours in and out roughly

Did I miss the part where the actual seal is placed ?
Solopan yes I did not put it in during the video as I had request to film this after I rebuilt it ! Sorry
IMR I see, so do you just pop off the seal with a flat screw driver ?

IMR Tremendous, I really appreciate the guidance ! Thank you man 🙏🏻
My speed 3 is leaking from the same spot.
Do I need change the bearing and the seal or just the seal?
