Hey guys, </div>

On the TR6, doing a Diff freshen-up. Replacing the seals. Got the ones from Moss. Put oil in it last night, and today I see it's leaking from the pinion seal. </div>

The center area the seal presses into is a little scratched up, result from removing the old seal. I'm assuming that's the issue. However, TRF sells much more expensive seals. </div>

SO, do I try another Moss seal, try to smooth out that surface, and maybe even a thin coat of the gasket maker? Or is the TRF seal worth it?</div>
