Mercutio

I'm taking my 05 V to the dealer tomorrow because the diff is leaking. Best case scenario, it's just a gasket...but it could be much worse, I know. The car is out of warranty. Does anyone have any experience with diff replacement costs if the case is damaged?

I work for a dealer and we usually just see the pinon seal leak on those rears so it shouldnt be a problem!!

Wasn't there a recall on the rear diff pinion seal? If the original owner of the car didn't get that done, Mercutio should be able to have it done, right?

I think the recall involved cars built prior to October or November '04. The reason I say this is that mine was built in Nov '04 and isn't covered.

It is currently leaking.

Revised TSB attached.

There is also a TSB for the diff vent. I think on mine they replaced the hose and vent.

Yes, there is.

That's what it was. Should be fixed tomorrow.

my diff was replaced about a year and a half ago.. and my pinion seal started leaking pretty bad on my way home from vegas.. i took it to the dealer and it was about 500 to repair it they said that they have to replace the yoke also...
