Have anyone successfully replaced shift shaft seal on 98 2.5 auto? I found there are two different part numbers with .813 inner dia seal and also some sites show that I need .93 inner dia seal. So which one do I need? There are a lot of posts here about new seals leaking shortly after replacement so please share your brand and part number if you had long term success with seal replacement!

I've replaced the seals but it was years ago; So I'll input what I can from crappy memory. As I recall their is two seals for the shifter (might just be manuals)((one lower, one for the shift boot)) Honestly I would just grab both seals and use a micrometer or eyeball the old seal when you remove it. Honestly I would use the .88 if possible. And I've learned to never assume what part is there currently, is the correct part. It may have the bigger seal on it now and that's why it's leaking. Order both, take it apart, put on the correct fitting one, done....atleast until the next thing; Jeeps never stop
