Hey everyone, hope y'all doing good. So looking for some input. My 1st time buying a JDM engine & transmission combo. It's a VQ35DE non-revup.

The ,main issue is the transmission which connects to the drive shaft. I noticed it is damaged on the edges.




Anyone knows if this will cause leaks? Anyone every open it up before and swap the end? What would you do? thx.

 

The inner part of the rubber seal is what keeps the oil in, not the outside aluminum casting.

I would put a new output seal on it and call it good.
