Which direction does the seal go back into the transaxle, the seal has a flat side and a (sort of) cupped side to it. which side goes into the transaxle first. if you had a diagram or a pic would be great. Sorry for the confusion, i may have caused.

I am talking about the seal at the REAR of the transaxle for the drive shaft that head to the rear Dif. there are NOT sides to it only the single shaft headin to the rear end. From the diagram in the chilton book there are NOT any retainer cups. Just the pressed in seal. Unfortunately the diagram isn't specific enough to detail if the "flat" side goes in first or the "Cupped" side goes in first. Thanks for response.

When I pulled the drive shaft out the axle seal fell out with it. The one I got to replace has a "flat" side and an "cupped" side. Does anyone know or better yet have a picture / diagram the depicts which way the seal goes back into the transaxle? Flat side or cupped side in? Thanks
