Sub trans leak

[PhilCod]

The back side (rear) of the sub trans has a slow leak. Seems to have gotten worse. She had 6,100+ miles on her now, so its probably a bad seal. Any useful input about the repair?

If you are dropping the sub trans to fix the leak, grab all the newer parts and install at the same time.
I think the low engagement dogs were updated in 21 or 23.
Not a horrible job to pull it on your back. Just be patient.

I think there are a couple of sub trans removal tips in the New Talon Owners thread -

I'm new to the SxS world - damn, there's a lot to learn, hence this thread - maybe we can make it easier for others new to the Talon and put it in one thread. 1. If you're a motorcyclist, you already know that sometimes your bike won't shift into gear at a stop without rocking the bike back and...

Assuming it's the seal, this can be done in frame.

If you’re talking about the seal in the picture then I just replaced this one the other week (sub trans left in the machine). Mine lasted ~4k miles, the hardest part of the job was getting the rear axles out of the diff (1st time I’ve had them out) to slide the diff and prop shaft back from the sub trans other than that it was a pretty painless job. I would also recommend using a shaft type seal puller to remove the old one. I also realized that the seal has been updated to a thicker style, from 8.0mm to 9.5mm, not sure on the part number off hand. Plan to change the opposite seal (front) as well to the new part number soon
