ok i ordered my parts got em in and i cant seem to understand if this is the part i need or another part.

the part i got is number 17 on the diagram but im thinking part 18 might2 be what i need, does the oil get stopped by part 17 or part 18?

Is that diagram supposed to be a rear differential for a Honda 300 utility?

 

[Fastas]

its for my 300 fourtrax i have oil leaking out of my rear of my engine where the rear shaft slides over the shaft comeing out of back of motor which i believe is the rear drive train.

I'm thinking you need #18. I think #17 sits on the front side where that little plug is. I thought yours was a 4X4. That diagram looks like it's showing a 2 wheel drive. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you need #18 if it's leaking where the U-joint slides up on the output shaft.

 

[Fastas]

yeah its a 4x4 and that looks correct i had trouble at the honda dealership trying to get this part, they didn't even know what i was talking bout.

 

[Helmut]

This diagram shows the 4X4 side cover. It's the one on the bottom. In this diagram # 22 is the one you need.

 

[Fastas]

guess i can try this 1 and see if it works if not ill order the other lol they didnt have any clue at all what i was even looking for

 

[Helmut]

I'm pretty sure #22 on the diagram that I posted is the one you need. That is the same microfiche that Honda uses on there computers, so it will be #22 on their diagram. At least it's the same microfiche that they use at my local dealer. The reason I know this is because I've had to look at the diagrams on their computers before and find the part that I needed, when they didn't know what I was talking about.

Those 4 parts listed at the bottom, right corner of the diagram I posted, are the only parts different on that side cover on the 4X4 models.(#4, #9, #17, #21)

just to save you some trouble down the road, you may as well replace all of your seals in the output shaft..front to back if yours is 4x4, your going to have it tore down, you may as well kill all your birds with one stone, up to you though.

That would be a good ideal.

 

[Helmut]

If this is the oil seal that you need, it is #22 on the diagram that I posted and #18 on the diagram that you posted.

yeah thats it the rubber seal isnt even there at all lol its completely gone i had a to peel a lil off but ill replace that for now and see how it does.
