Default Need help: Rear driveshaft yoke leaking grease.

Pasadena Honda says there is no replacement seal, I have to buy a whole new driveshaft-$1,000 They suggest I look for an aftermarket driveshaft or seal kit, preferably the latter. Anyone know of such an animal?

This happened to me and I ended getting a new driveshaft, Labor is a bitch but my uncle did it for free.

Not a clue, Steve. Honda seems baffled. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $1,000 for a new driveshaft because of a leaking seal.

I believe it was around $275-300, I got one pretty much brand new.
