2008 GL1800 30k Seal Leaking in Transaxle
Hello from the Hills of Ky/Tenn.... I have a Transaxle Driveshaft Seal leak. I am wondering ifthis could be a sign of this dreaded CSC Driveshaft problem. I have not had a driveshaft failure, but, have always had some play somewhere in the drive line. New to this problem of driveshaft issues .... Or is the Seal Leaking a sign that I have other issues?..... Thanx fer ya time.....

Hello!
Dan, Welcome from SW Arkansas.
Can't help with the transaxle seal leak, but there are two other forums here where you can post questions.....the Honda Forum and CSC Forum, both have knowledgeable owners who can most likely help you get it sorted. Wish you the best.

Welcome to Trike Talk Dan!

Been watching this thread. Help me understand "transaxle"?????
I have never known of any trike that has the transmission as part of the rear end?!?!
So, I am assuming the OP has the conversion that included the gear case that attempted to align the drive shaft with the output of the Wings transmission to straighten it up, which it still didn't quite get perfectly straight!
If this is correct, the OP could check out the drive shft conversion from https://www.mtn-motorsportstn.com/.
Have not heard of any failures using this drive shaft.

Hi All,
Thanks for your helpful response on this Transaxle leak problem... After talking with (will) CSC he had the fix on the issue . The oil seal is not leaking, the leak is coming thru the yoke spline shaft. If I had looked more closely I would have seen that the oil was being thrown from the yoke and no oil on the housing seal area. The fix is simple! Will instructed me to use Blue ATV sealer and apply to the Shaft and the yoke spline. I let dry over night and test drove on 100 mile test run. I left the pan cover off till problem was solved. After test run, no oil leak and a very happy customer!
If anybody having any CSC issues, call Will at ext 30 from CSC 800 number.... He is a very nice guy and knows his stuff. CSC is lucky to have a man with his knowledge .
Thanks everybody for your responds!

Tried to send you a private message but, for some reason it tells me I can't!

I tried to send you a private message also. Apparently that feature doesn't work here.
Seems both parties must be Gold Club members to exchange private messages.
