driveshaft coupling for M / W-6

Charles E. McNelly III · Jan 26, 2009

Hi,
My W-6 driveshaft coupling part # 45043D is worn where the seal was, leaks oil bad. Does anyone carry this part new? I figure everyone with a M or W-6 has seen this. I really don't want to use a speedy sleeve if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Charles

A different style seal with a differing depth or offset (wider or narrower) with the same OD and Shaft size can fix the issue by running the seal lip on a new location on the shaft. It has been done many times. JimN

I've used Speedi sleeves several times. Recently put one on the drive line coupling on my I-6. The only problem I have with them is that they are expensive. It's so much trouble to get to that seal, I would not put it back together without doing something to repair the seal running surface. Also, if there is any play in the bearings on the transmission input shaft, those need to be replaced as well as the seal. I expect there is a new coupling out there somewhere if you can't get it from an IH dealer.
