The car has been leaking gear oil. I thought it was an axle seal so I took it to my local shop because they installed the original seal and would warranty it. Come to find out it is not the seal. The axle has some serious in and out play in it. When it moves out gear oil leaks out. The shop has tried 2 other brand new axles and the problem is the same. The last axle would not click and lock in. I have a helical LSD in an S54 transmission and I am running a Gen 4 3sgte tuned for 340 hp on E85. I track the car so it gets beat on pretty hard. The shop is having a hard time getting a good part number because the original part number is discontinued but superseded by another. One axle came from OReilly's and the other came from AutoZone. Is the tranny or the differential broke or am I not getting the right axle? Has anyone else had this problem?

Let’s try this again. I found 2 S53 transmissions at the junkyard. I bought them both. I hope 1 of them works out.
